body: <p>I have to compare 2 dates in <em><strong>Java 8</strong></em> to get the <em><strong>difference of minutes</strong></em>. Now I am using <code>java.utils.Date</code> to store my dates but I am unable to find out how to get the difference in minutes. Also, the dates to be compared might be in 2 different time zones which should be taken into account if present. How do I proceed with this?</p>
