title: How can I create a Java 8 LocalDate from a long Epoch time in Milliseconds?
body: <p>I have an external API that returns me dates as <code>long</code>s, represented as milliseconds since the beginning of the Epoch.</p>
  
  <p>With the old style Java API, I would simply construct a <code>Date</code> from it with</p>
  
  <pre><code>Date myDate = new Date(startDateLong)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What is the equivalent in Java 8's <code>LocalDate</code>/<code>LocalDateTime</code> classes?</p>
  
  <p>I am interested in converting the point in time represented by the <code>long</code> to a <code>LocalDate</code> in my current local timezone.</p>
