Answer 1

Following is code for the c# i think you get similar to timespan in j# also

public string getFormattedTimeFromSecond(double second)
    {

        TimeSpan t = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(second);

        string formatedTime = string.Format("{0:D2}H:{1:D2}M:{2:D2}S",
                                t.Hours,
                                t.Minutes,
                                t.Seconds);

        return formatedTime;
}

You can use following code in Java:

new SimpleDateFormat("MM-dd-yyyy HH:mm:ss z")).format($V{VAR_DATE})

where $V{VAR_DATE} is the date variable to be converted into the format.
