public long getTime()

Description copied from interface: DateTools.TimeSource

Returns the number of milliseconds since 1970-01-01. Some implementations may choose to not use System.currentTimeMillis() as the source! This flexibility allows a VM-wide offset or time acceleration to be implemented. Keep in mind that if time is accelerated, wait(long msTimeout) and Thread.sleep(long msDuration) times requested throughout the VM will likely last too long.
