JDK 8 does continue to ship with tzdata info built into it. The
structure changed significantly with the introduction of JSR 310. The
lib/zi directory has been replaced with one lib/tzdb.dat file which
contains the tzdata rules in compiled format.
You can always add the latest tzdata to the jdk/make/data/tzdata/
directory and rebuild for latest rules.

Hi,
Not sure if this is the correct forum....
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
