For comparison, here is that same kind of code but using Joda-Time 2.3.
Avoid the java.util.Date & .Calendar classes.
Never use three-letter codes for time zones. They are neither standardized nor unique. Instead use proper time zone names. In this case, use "America/New_York" or "America/Montreal".
// Use time zone names, such as from this slightly outdated list: http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/timezones.html
DateTimeZone timeZone = DateTimeZone.forID( "America/New_York" );
// Input.
int hour = 4, min = 0, sec = 0, ms = 64;
// Start with now, then adjust the time of day.
DateTime now = new DateTime( timeZone );
DateTime dateTime = now.withHourOfDay( hour ).withMinuteOfHour( min ).withSecondOfMinute( sec ).withMillisOfSecond( ms );
// If needed, translate to a java.util.Date for use with other classes.
java.util.Date date = dateTime.toDate();
Dump to console…
System.out.println( "now: " + now );
System.out.println( "dateTime: " + dateTime );
System.out.println( "date: " + date );
When run…
now: 2014-01-20T21:04:51.237-05:00
dateTime: 2014-01-20T04:00:00.064-05:00
date: Mon Jan 20 01:00:00 PST 2014
