US 2007 Daylight Saving Time

[Hairy Potter]

From Sun Java web site

"Do my operating system's timezone patches fix the Java platform's timezone data?
No. The Java SE platform's timezone data is not read from the local or host operating system.
The Java SE platform maintains a private repository of timezone data in locally installed files (.../jre/lib/zi) as part of the Java Runtime Environement (JRE) software.
Applying whatever operating system timezone patches (for example Solaris OS, Linux, Windows) will have no effect on the accuracy of the Java SE platform's timezone data."

It's a nightmare !!!

The funny thing is
if workstation has Canadian regional settings you need JRE 1.5.0.10
if US regional settings - JRE 1.5.0.6
Reboot isn't required, but you need to restart application that uses JRE.
Our tech guys are just in shock.
We never gonna be unemployed, guys
