Here's a simple solution to convert unix time to localDate and then you're free to format it as you please:

long time = 1491231860;
final LocalDate localDate = LocalDate.fromMillisSinceEpoch(unixSeconds);

(a) What class is `LocalDate`? I see no `fromMillisSinceEpoch` method on [`java.time.LocalDate`](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/time/LocalDate.html). Nor do I see it on [`org.joda.time.LocalDate`](http://www.joda.org/joda-time/apidocs/org/joda/time/LocalDate.html). (b) This code ignores the crucial issue of time zone in determining a date. This code assumes the date should be framed as UTC, which may or may not be the intent. – Basil Bourque Aug 19 '17 at 01:24
