Hi,

I have a strange problem.  I have a little java app that displays an 
analog clock with a few weird additions like GPS time.  It's been 
working for years.  A recent update or the last switch to DST has it 
return the time zone as GMT-08:00 instead of PDT.

If I use Oracle's Oracle's jdk1.7.0_45 it works fine but I I use 
openjdk-1.7.0.51 from the sl-security repo it does not.

Does anyone know how openjdk gets its timezone information?

Thanks,
Joe
