Hello,
I found some test cases in our project started failing after updating
JRE's tzdata version to 2014g. The test case creates a new TimeZone, and
modify the raw offset. I know it's ancient API before Java implemented
tz database, and I know the functionality is somewhat moot at this
point. However, it looks the problem was introduced recently - I thought
it worked OK a few months ago (but I'm not 100% sure).
Java version:
java version "1.7.0_67"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_67-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.65-b04, mixed mode)
TZ database version: 2014g
Simple test code:
for (String id : TimeZone.getAvailableIDs()) {
TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone(id);
int orgOffset = tz.getRawOffset();
// Update raw offset : + 30 minutes
int newOffset = orgOffset + 30*60*1000;
tz.setRawOffset(newOffset);
int actualOffset = tz.getRawOffset();
if (actualOffset != newOffset) {
System.out.println(id + " [org=" + orgOffset
+ ", new=" + newOffset
+ ", actual=" + actualOffset + "]");
}
}
Output:

If my understanding is correct, the standard offset of these zones will
change later in this year.
Should I go ahead and file a bug?
