Java中比较两个日期时间的大小?

import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;   

public class test {

        public static void main(String args[]) {
             int i= compare_date("1995-11-12 15:21", "1999-12-11 09:59");
             System.out.println("i=="+i);
        }

        public static int compare_date(String DATE1, String DATE2) {
                
                
                DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm");
                try {
                        Date dt1 = df.parse(DATE1);
                        Date dt2 = df.parse(DATE2);
                        if (dt1.getTime() > dt2.getTime()) {
                                System.out.println("dt1 在dt2前");
                                return 1;
                        } else if (dt1.getTime() < dt2.getTime()) {
                                System.out.println("dt1在dt2后");
                                return -1;
                        } else {
                                return 0;
                        }
                } catch (Exception exception) {
                        exception.printStackTrace();
                }
                return 0;
        }
}
