Hi,
This topic came up before with no resolution; and it's still present
in the latest native JDK1.4.2 port: The default TimeZone is not being
set correctly:
0:baldur-/tmp,3:52pm> date
Wed Nov 12 15:53:01 NZDT 2003
0:baldur-/tmp,3:53pm> java tztest
Greenwich Mean Time
0:baldur-/tmp,3:53pm> java -version
java version "1.4.2-p5"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2-p5-root_12_nov_2003_10_06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-p5-root_12_nov_2003_10_06, mixed mode)
Here's the code for tztest.java:
import java.util.TimeZone;
public class tztest
{
public static void
main (
String args [])
{
TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getDefault ();
System.out.println (tz.getDisplayName ());
}
}
TimeZone.getTimeZone(String id) *does* work, so there is a workaround,
but TimeZone.getDefault() isn't picking the Host-System's TimeZone
setting.
I'll raise a PR for it if no one here knows of a quick fix.
Cheers.
