The Java Date class documentation does, at least, show reasonable awareness of leap seconds: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Date.html Pity those of us who've been reading this list a little too long can pick a few minor holes but it's basically reasonable stuff - much better than ignoring leap seconds.
