Time Zone Problem on Windows

[yzaltz]

I created a simple java test application that echo the time zone and the current date/time (to test Cruise controll problem).
and it prints out the wrong time zone GMT-05:00 instead of GMT+02:00
needless to say the Server I'm running has the right time and Time Zone set.

Running with Java jdk1.6.0_03
On Windows server 2003

output:
Acre Time:
Thu Dec 24 06:24:41 ACT 2009:
where DOS shell prints
>time
The current time is: 13:24:47.33


My script is as follows:
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.TimeZone;

public class TestDate{
public static void main(String[] args){
Date date = new Date();
TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getDefault();
String tzName = tz.getDisplayName(tz.inDaylightTime(date), TimeZone.LONG);

System.out.println(tzName + ": ");
String bla = date.toString();
System.out.println(" " + bla + ":");
}
}



Please advice

what about if you force the timezone with a Java VM argument:

java -Duser.timezone=US/Eastern CLASS_NAME

Except, what ever code is for GMT+2 for you

for my little script it is not a problem to set the time Zone but the problem is that
I did this test to test Cruise Control which is written in Java and uses a lot of modules like log4j that I can't control
I'm trying to understand where java takes the odd time zone on the system obviously not directly from the OS

It works for me (Java 1.6.0.16) GMT+1; can you (double) check the timezone on the computer you're running that Java application on? (click on the clock in the bottom right corner); I'm not aware of timezone bugs w.r.t. that Acre (Brazilian AST) time.

kind regards,

Jos
