This causes new Date().toString() to return a time that is off by one hour. I'm in Pacific time. In natTimeZone.cc, getSystemTimeZone() is returning "PDT8". It's using the HAVE_TM_ZONE code. I tried switching the order of ifdefs around so that HAVE_TZNAME would be checked first, however my system isn't being detected has having tzname even though it does. Fixing that detection would be one fix and swapping the order of checking would be one fix. Perhaps someone had a reason to avoid using tzname, though. TimeZone.getDefaultTimeZoneId calls TimeZone.getTimeZone() on the string returned by getSystemTimeZone, so another possible fix is to add a PDT8 entry (and many others) to the initialization in TimeZone's static initializer block. >How-To-Repeat: ; cat TimeZoneTest.java import java.util.Date; import java.util.TimeZone; public class TimeZoneTest { public static void main(String[] args) { TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getDefault(); System.out.println(tz.getID()); System.out.println(tz.getDSTSavings()); System.out.println(tz.getRawOffset()); System.out.println(tz.inDaylightTime(new Date())); System.out.println(tz.useDaylightTime()); } } ; javac TimeZoneTest.java ; java TimeZoneTest America/Los_Angeles 3600000 -28800000 true true ; gij TimeZoneTest Pacific/Pitcairn 3600000 -28800000 false false >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
