Works fine with OpenJDK6 b19:
hammer# cat TimeTest.java
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.TimeZone;
public class TimeTest {
public static void main(String args[]) {
long time = System.currentTimeMillis();
String millis = Long.toString(time);
Date date = new Date(time);
System.out.println("Current time in milliseconds = " + millis + " => " + date.toString());
System.out.println("Current time zone: " + TimeZone.getDefault().getID());
}
}
hammer# javac -version
javac 1.6.0
hammer# java -version
openjdk version "1.6.0"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b19)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 16.0-b13, mixed mode)
hammer# javac TimeTest.java
hammer# cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Seoul /etc/localtime
hammer# date
Wed May 26 03:50:39 KST 2010
hammer# echo $TZ
TZ: Undefined variable.
hammer# java TimeTest
Current time in milliseconds = 1274813492978 => Wed May 26 03:51:32 KST 2010
Current time zone: Asia/Seoul
hammer# cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York /etc/localtime
hammer# date
Tue May 25 14:53:10 EDT 2010
hammer# java TimeTest
Current time in milliseconds = 1274813598908 => Tue May 25 14:53:18 EDT 2010
Current time zone: America/New_York
hammer# setenv TZ Asia/Seoul
hammer# echo $TZ
Asia/Seoul
hammer# java TimeTest
Current time in milliseconds = 1274813844489 => Wed May 26 03:57:24 KST 2010
Current time zone: Asia/Seoul
hammer# unsetenv TZ
hammer# echo $TZ
TZ: Undefined variable.
hammer# java TimeTest
Current time in milliseconds = 1274813869066 => Tue May 25 14:57:49 EDT 2010
Current time zone: America/New_York
