I don't know how things work but today my time was set back to one hour automatically.
but java still reports time that is one hour ahead.
As I said before it might not be a jdk bug because It works ok on fedora core 1.
Maybe a combination of 2.6 kernel and jdk. Just thoughts.
Works for me:
[andrei@brie andrei]$ cat A.java
public class A
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println(new java.util.Date());
}
}
[andrei@brie andrei]$ javac A.java
[andrei@brie andrei]$ java A

j2sdk1.4.2 works fine on kernel 2.6.8 (which was the combination you reported). Maybe one of the systems is wrong about the GEST offset.
