Thanks for that link. I did not know that this support was present in JDK7 but then removed. I did not expect various distributions and versions to have significant differences in that file either. > Have you tested your fix on all Red Hat-like distros, including some > older releases, with all the time zone IDs? No, I tested this with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. I did not try it on older versions. I know newer versions of Fedora don't ship with this file any more. Given that this support was removed because there were significant differences in that file making maintenance harder in OpenJDK, I am going to withdraw this patch. Thanks to everyone who reviewed and commented on it. Omair -- PGP Key: 66484681 (http://pgp.mit.edu/) Fingerprint = F072 555B 0A17 3957 4E95 0056 F286 F14F 6648 4681
