Bug#554017: sun-java6-bin: Timezone FAIL on DST fall-back
Package: sun-java6-bin
Version: 6-12-1
Severity: normal
Timezone change out of Daylight time occurred an hour early; this bug was unanticipated and as a result caused serious issues with a realtime application.
String t_before = '20091101T005400';
String t_after = '20091101T010400';
SimpleDateFormat inp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd'T'HHmmss");
Date db = inp.parse( t_before );
Date da = inp.parse( t_after );
SimpleDateFormat out = new SimpleDateFormat("Z");
System.print( out.format(db ) );
System.print( out.format(da ) );
prints -0400 for db and -0500 for da
Daylight time should not revert until TWO a.m!
