title: Client Side Date Conversions in GWT
body: <p>I have a date that is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>2009-10-12T00:00:00
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How would I convert this into UNIX Milliseconds, on the client side in GWT? Please give actual advice and not links, as a lot of the ways I have tried lead me to deprecated methods that point to non-Javascript convertible code.</p>
  
  <p>As GWT converts all client side Java you have written into Javascript, it's making it very difficult for me to figure out how to do it.</p>
