java jar -tvf file.jar reports time problem

Bill McNAMARA_1 — Thu, 21 Feb 2002 09:38:48 GMT

jar -tvf
reports time stamps in CET

where the system timezone in MET.

This is affecting the java app display only.. ie cosmetic, but still rather annoying.

How can I reconfigure java's timezone.

Later,
Bill

If TZ is only important for Java:
export TZ=Australia/Brisbane then run the java program.

see /opt/java1.3/jre/lib/tzmapping for appropriate settings

Another solution is to run java with the -D parm: eg -Duser.timezone=Australia/Brisbane

Wouldn't Java's time be set to the time zone Columbia is in, or is it set to the time zone for the Island of Java?

Man I'm confusing myself (-:
