Description David Carlson 2006-12-12 04:27:41 UTC 
Description of problem:
The US changed its energy policy to have wider Daylight Savings Time.  This is
not yet reflected in the IBM JRE packaged with RHEL.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
java-1.4.2-ibm-1.4.2.1-1jpp_2rh

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. up2date java-1.4.2-ibm
2. compile attached java snippet (javac unixdst.java)
3. java unixdst
  
Actual results:
Not Compliant : Linux|x86|IBM Corporation|1.4.2
(indicating that the JRE does not conform to the 2007 US DST rules)

Expected results:
Compliant : Linux|x86|IBM Corporation|1.4.2
(indicating that the JRE conforms to the 2007 US DST rules)
