Thanks Martin, Unfortunately I don't see that option ...
mmontaseri@griffin:~/work/bug-91383/jdk8src> bash ./configure --help | grep tzdata mmontaseri@griffin:~/work/bug-91383/jdk8src> Can you please clarify? And what would that option do? would it integrate (bundle, pull-in, copy) system-tzdata files and put them along the JRE tar. I personally don't think a language should be that tightly coupled with an asset like timezone. JDK/JRE and tzdata have two different life cycles and charter.

I have installed openJDK8 on a Debian linux. I was comparing my new JRE with an older version (openjdk6) and I see that I don't have bunch of timezone files. Here is the old one ./jre/lib/zi/CST6CDT ./jre/lib/zi/SystemV/ ./jre/lib/zi/SystemV/PST8PDT ./jre/lib/zi/SystemV/AST4 etc, etc I read something about Sun no longer including tzupdator and timezone files....what is OpenJDK's position on this issue? If openjdk8 does not include TimeZone, how do I incorporate them into my JRE and JDK? Is there another upstream maintainer of TZs? thanks Medi
