We connect to a publicly accessible time server on the internet and parse the result.

List of available time servers : http://tf.nist.gov/service/time-servers.html

NOTE : All users should ensure that their software NEVER queries a server more frequently than once every 4 seconds. Systems that exceed this rate will be refused service. In extreme cases, systems that exceed this limit may be considered as attempting a denial-of-service attack.

It's not possible to set your local computer clock in pure Java.

You need to use an external utility provided by the OS or call a JNI routine, see this HowTo.
