Subject: [Bug libgcj/17002] New: java.util.TimeZone.getDefault() is broken
X-Bugzilla-Reason: CC
X-SW-Source: 2004-q3/txt/msg00221.txt.bz2
List-Id: <java-prs.sourceware.org>

TimeZone.getDefault() has two bugs mapping short timezone names (plus
GMT-offset) to long/display timezone information.

- The interface between getDefault() and the native getDefaultTimeZoneId() is
unclear. Which means that the result of getDefaultTimeZoneId() is not always
mapped to the correct TimeZone.

- getDefaultTimeZoneId() should always return the standard (std) short timezone
name, never the alternative (dst) Daylight Savings Time name. When it returns a
dst name the getDefault() mapping from short name to long/display timezone name
also breaks.
