Seems to work for me here. Setting the date to June 1, 1997 as a test case worked. 2006/06/08 (date this was filed) works as well. Considering how long this has sat open with no attention, and my inability to reproduce the problem, I'm going to close the bug report.
If you feel this is in error and can provide a specific example (date) where Dapper/Feisty's Sun Java doesn't work, then please reopen the bug report. ** Changed in: sun-java5 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info ** Changed in: sun-java5 (Ubuntu) Status: Needs Info => Rejected -- Java reports time zone incorrectly during CDT (US Daylight saving time) https://launchpad.net/bugs/49068 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
