You don't give any details of the OpenJDK version - what does 'java -version' give on your Ubuntu box? If this is the system OpenJDK build, then it's an IcedTea build and thus includes a patch to use the system timezone data which is likely to be more up-to-date than that bundled with Sun's JDK. -- Andrew :-) Free Java Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc.
