Hi Denice,
Since updating java sometimes causes problems, we're leaving it up to
the admins to do it by hand if they need to. Here are the instructions.
SLF3
yum -c ftp://linux.fnal.gov/linux/lts30rolling/testing/yum.conf update
SLF4
yum -c ftp://linux.fnal.gov/linux/lts4rolling/testing/yum.conf update
or
yum --enablerepo=fermi-testing update
I think a majority of people do not want me pushing out rpm's that could
potentially remove their hand installed java, on a friday evening.
I'm sorry, but I found out about the java problem too late to get a
proper solution that wasn't going to cause more problems than it solved.

But have you actually tested to see if the change was really needed.
Doing a diff and other various things aren't really telling you if
something was broken in the first place. I was given another java
script, that works for all places I believe.
------
import java.util.Date;
public class TimeCheck {
public static void main(String[] arg) {
System.out.println(new Date(1173599999999L).toString());
System.out.println(new Date(1173600000000L).toString());
System.out.println(new Date(1194159599999L).toString());
System.out.println(new Date(1194159600000L).toString());
}
}
------
So, for your case, you would complie this code and then run
/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_12/bin/java TimeCheck
and then
/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_12.sv/bin/java TimeCheck
And see if they are the same or different.
well:
$ cat /etc/sysconfig/clock ZONE="America/Vancouver"
UTC=true

PATH=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_12/bin:$PATH
$ javac DSTCheck.java $ java DSTCheck

. Your JVM is OK with the new DST changes .

The regional timezone issue really is the bottom line..
