Lucky for you the Java Date object handles timezones for you. As long as you are okay with an an accuracy of up to 5 secs you should be okay with this method. Are you using GWT RPC? If so, just create a method that returns a new Date from the server. If not, create a servlet that just outputs new Date().getTime() and you can instantiate a Date with that long client side. Java's Date object is based off Unix time, so if you want to know more about how that works Google it.
