TZUpdater (1.3.44 & 1.3.46) not compatible with JAVA 1.4

[Krishna_NMS]

Hi,

I had seen a timezone issue with current JAVA version of my application and when tried with TZupdater "tzupdater-1.3.44-2011m" the "java TZTest" didn't behave as expected.

My configuration:

1) uname -a
HP-UX nec1pm01 B.11.31 U ia64 3900978489 unlimited-user license

2) /opt/OV/nonOV/jdk/a/bin/java -version
java version "1.4.2.13"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2.13-070317-13:26)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.4.2 1.4.2.13-070317-18:29-IA64N IA64, mixed mode)

TZUpdater steps:

3) /opt/OV/nonOV/jdk/a/bin/java -jar  tzupdater-1.3.44-2011m/tzupdater.jar -V
tzupdater version 1.3.44-b01
JRE time zone data version: tzdata2007a
tzmappings data version: tzdata2007a
Embedded time zone data version: tzdata2011m
Embedded tzmappings data version: tzdata2011m

4) ./java -jar  tzupdate/tzupdater-1.3.44-2011m/tzupdater.jar -bc -f -v
java.home: /opt/OV/nonOV/jdk/a/jre
java.vendor: Hewlett-Packard Co.

Issue is:

5) /opt/OV/nonOV/jdk/a/bin/java TZTest

-- Default TimeZone Name (TZ) = Central European Time

-------------Default TZ used for testing : Europe/Paris-------------
 ***US DST START on 11th March 2007 & STOP on 4th Nov 2007***
DST Offset for 10-Mar-2007 12:00:00 - 0(should be 0)

DST Offset for 28-Sep-2011 12:00:00 - 0(should be 3600000)  # Issue is here

Could someone tell me why this issue arising.

Note:

7) I can't use latest JAVA version as my application user JAVA 1.4.X only

8) When I tried with "tzupdater-1.3.46-2012b" version, I got below error

/opt/OV/nonOV/jdk/a/bin/java TZTest
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: TZTest (Unsupported major.minor version 50.0)
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass0(Native Method)
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:539)

Expecting your help.

Thanks
