How to convert from java.util.date to JodaTime and get same date

Question

I follow this question: Convert from java.util.date to JodaTime

I have date: Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 CET 1854 now I want to convert it to joda datetime:

DateTime dateTime = new DateTime(date);

and now when I print this date I got: 1853-12-31T23:57:44.000+00:57:44

what is wrong and why my date changed ? How I can get the same date ?

UPDATE:

I get date using calendar:

Calendar cal1 = Calendar.getInstance();
cal1.set(1854, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0);
cal1.getTime()

UPDATE2:

propably there is problem with milseconds:

    Calendar cal1 = Calendar.getInstance();
    cal1.set(1854, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0);
    DateTime start = new DateTime(1854, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0);
    System.out.println(start.getMillis());
    System.out.println(cal1.getTime().getTime());

because this code return:

-3660598664000
-3660598799438

but I dont know why

UPDATE3:

Answer 1

Joda-Time uses the accurate time-zone database, which has Local Mean Time (LMT) for years before time-zones started. To quote Wikipedia:

Local mean time is a form of solar time that corrects the variations of local apparent time, forming a uniform time scale at a specific longitude.

The JDK doesn't use LMT, thus the times differ.

Answer 2

ok I solve it. Is isnt nice but it works what is important

  Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
    calendar.setTime(datum);

    DateTime current = new DateTime(calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR), calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1,
            calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH), 0, 0, 0);
