When you create a Date or a Calendar object, you can specify the time zone in which you'd like it to use by default. If you specify GMT, then that's what you'll get out of it.
I don't know how much clearer I can make my response--I can only point out that time zone is a settable property of a Calendar and a Date, just like hour, minute, second, etc...just like any other property. Read the javadocs for details.
