The reason it reports an incorrect time zone is because sun java uses its own time zone database. As far as I can tell anything below 1.6 needs to be patched for the upcoming DST changes. I have had to run the timezone updater from Sun since no backports have been made available. An awful lot of people who run java apps are in for a surprise on March 11th.
The timezone updater is documented here: http://java.sun.com/javase/tzupdater_README.html You have to register to download it. Installing the patch will, of course, overwrite files installed by the original package, which is never a good thing. Until a backport becomes available I have no other option.... -- 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
