Hello,

I want some code which will give me the number of milliseconds since
the Java epoch which is January 1, 1970. I try the following code, but,
alas, every time I run it I get a different value
instead of a constant. Any ideas of what
might be going wrong would be
sincerely appreciated.

import java.util.Calendar;

class T {

 public static void main(String[] args) {

   Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();

   calendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 28);
   calendar.set(Calendar.MONTH, 2);
   calendar.set(Calendar.YEAR, 2006);

   long millis = calendar.getTime().getTime();

   System.err.println(millis);

 }

}
