Description

Name: nt126004			Date: 08/27/2001


java version "1.3.1"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1-b24, mixed mode)

class java.util.TimeZoneData is changing daylight saving at the last Sunday of
August for Sydney\Australia. This was the case for 2000, because of special
regulations for Olympic games. Now it should be last Sunday of September!
see java\util\TimeZone.java:

new SimpleTimeZone(10*ONE_HOUR, "Australia/Sydney",
          Calendar.AUGUST, -1, Calendar.SUNDAY /*DOW_IN_MON*/, 2*ONE_HOUR,
SimpleTimeZone.STANDARD_TIME,
          Calendar.MARCH, -1, Calendar.SUNDAY /*DOW_IN_MON*/, 2*ONE_HOUR,
SimpleTimeZone.STANDARD_TIME, 1*ONE_HOUR),

Comments
EVALUATION Need clarification on the following: - 1.3 or 1.3.1? (Description and Customer Call are inconsistent.) - Any evidence of the DST transition schedule which backs up the claim in Description? (See http://www.dstc.qut.edu.au/DST/marg/daylight.html#cutoffs http://www.australia.or.jp/travel/summertime.html etc.) ###@###.### 2001-08-28 In 3.1, daylight saving time (DST) transition schedule data for 2000 was taken because it was released early 2000. In 1.3.1, 2001 data was taken. ###@###.### 2001-08-30 Couldn't get information above. I'm closing this bug as a dup of 4257314. ###@###.### 2001-09-25
