How can we download the TZUpdater 1.3.8?


Submitted On 14-OCT-2008
Hi, you can use this workaround to Brazillianīs dayLight 2008:

SimpleTimeZone brt= new  SimpleTimeZone(-3 * 60 * 60 * 1000,"GMT-3:00");
// Set rules for Brazilian Summer Time 2008  
brt.setStartRule(Calendar.OCTOBER, 3, Calendar.SUNDAY,0);  
brt.setEndRule(Calendar.FEBRUARY, 3, Calendar.SUNDAY,0);
// Set this rule to jvm
TimeZone.setDefault(brt);
System.out.println(new Date());

When  tzupdater 1.3.8 tool will be available for download in site of SUN?


Submitted On 15-OCT-2008
For Brazillianīs dayLight 2008, you can set the user.timezone system property until the updated tzupdater be available  or until next Sunday, which comes first.
java -Duser.timezone=GMT-3


Submitted On 15-OCT-2008
Hi, you can only use -Duser.timezone=GMT-3 until 18 day. If you use this parameter after of 18 day, the clock will be later by 1 hour.

http://java.sun.com/javase/timezones/tzdata_versions.html will normally contain a top banner indicating the latest version available. 1.3.9 was released this week

If you are using Java sdk on Windows Machine, you must run tzupdate twice:

// for update jre
java -jar tzupdater.jar -u

// for update jdk (JAVA_HOME = c:\Java\jdk1.5.0_15)
c:\Java\jdk1.5.0_15\bin\java.exe -jar tzupdater.jar -u
  



PLEASE NOTE: JDK6 is formerly known as Project Mustang
