I'm not familiar with the internals of the JVM, but why does a JVM even need its own database? Why can't it use the native OS's timezone database, just like it abstracts many other OS services.
Although I'm a Java programmer, I firmly believe that managing the time zone information is the system administrator job, since it interacts with many other services and processes on the system (cron, backups, etc). Would patching the JVM to make it use Ubuntu's native time-zone database be a daunting task, in your opinion?
