I had a similar problem some time ago with Linux/JDK1.1.6v2 and
Solaris/JDK1.1.6.
I think it was fixed at least in Linux/1.1.6v5.
The problem was that the VM and the java classes did not agree about the
short name
for the time zone Central European. I don't know any more, possibly the
Timezone class used ECT for European Central Time? Or the VM ignored
the CET timezone and set GMT?
So you can install a newer JDK where the Timezone class and the VM
agree.
If you don't want to do this, you can work around setting
the user.timezone property explicitly.
I did this in the java.wrapper script in the jdk1.1.6/bin directory:
opts=${opts}" -Duser.timezone=ECT" # or CET ?
Hope this helps!
