JDK-6838887 - (tz) Add UTC and Yerevan to tzmappings
Description
A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
Windows 7 seems to have a few timezones that are not correctly mapped to Java ones.
* (UTC-04:00) Asuncion "Paraguay Standard Time"
* (UTC+12:00) Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky "Kamchatka Standard Time"
These timezones are mapped to "Asia/Karachi", that is 10,000+ miles away from these zones...

JUSTIFICATION :
For users' convenience, JRE/JDK should provide correct mappings for these timezones.


CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Use JDK DST Timezone Update Tool
