I got an answer from another person here on the list about this, he said
it's a Sun bug. What happens is that java doesn't seem to recognize the
"MET" timezone designator, which is what I use currently (Sweden...)
He suggested that I change the timezone to "ECT" instead, thought it
was supposed to be CET, whatever, haven't heard of ECT before but it
works at least =|:-)
According to the person I talked to, Sun will fix this in 1.2b4.
So I guess I'll just stick to "ECT" until they fix this...
Best Regards,
