---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
// DST switch on 31 March 2002 at 2:00:00
//
//   |-------|-------X-------|-------|
// 12:00   01:00   03:00   04:00   5:00
//                   ^
//                   |
//       daylight switch from 2:00 to 3:00 by Europe/Berlin

Calendar cal = new GregorianCalendar(2002, Calendar.MARCH, 31, 2, 59, 59);
cal.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Europe/Berlin"));
long time = cal.getTime().getTime();
System.out.println(time);

How to reproduce it:

  // DST switch on 31 March 2002 at 2:00:00 by Europe/Berlin
  //
  //   |-------|-------X-------|-------|
  // 12:00   01:00   03:00   04:00   5:00
  //                   ^
  //                   |
  //       daylight switch from 2:00 to 3:00

To reproduce you have just to run this with JDK 1.3.1 and JDK 1.4 to see the
difference:

  Calendar cal = new GregorianCalendar(2002, Calendar.MARCH, 31, 2, 59, 59);
  cal.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Europe/Berlin"));
  long time = cal.getTime().getTime();
  System.out.println(time);
