Time conversions in the Java JDK/JRE

The Java Run-time Environment (JRE) contains library functions for time conversion from Coordinated Universal Time (also called GMT) to local time, including any Daylight Saving Time compensation. Patches to the JDK/JRE will be issued as necessary by Sun and Sybase, Inc. to update these functions to reflect Daylight Savings Time changes caused by the United States Energy Policy Act of 2006.
