Done.
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The Java Plugin uses GMT timezone, even though Windows has
been configured correctly for Australia/Sydney. The Java
Plugin uses the following:
user.timezone = GMT
Windows Date/Time Properties is set to "(GMT+10:00)
Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney" and "Automatically adjust for
daylight savings" is turned on.
The default Windows system locale is configured as "English
(Australia)"
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Set Windows Date/Time Properties is to "(GMT+10:00)
Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney" and turn on "Automatically
adjust for daylight savings" option.
2. Set the default Windows system locale to "English
(Australia)"
3. Set the input locale to "English (Australia)" and remove
any other locales.
4. Start Java Plugin using any applet loaded into Internet
Explorer 5.5
Display system properties and observe that user.timezone is
incorrectly set to GMT.
2.
3.
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
user.timezone should be Australia/Sydney but is GMT instead.
ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
No error messages, however any code that displays time is off by 10 hours.
REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
