JAVA DST Patch....

[jmckinzie]

Can someone help me detirmine whether or not I have to upgrade java for the DST issues?

I am not very familiar with java and I have J@RE, JRE, SDK, etc. etc. It just seems very difficult to figure out what is what.

Here is what I have:

B9098AA 1.2.2.15.00 Java 2 Plugin for HP-UX (700/800)
B9789AA 1.3.1.09.08 Java2 1.3 RTE for HP-UX
T1455AA 1.3.1.09.08 Java2 1.3 Netscape Plugin for HP-UX
T1457AA 1.4.1.02.02 Java2 1.4 RTE for HP-UX
T1458AA 1.4.1.02.02 Java2 1.4 Netscape Plugin for HP-UX

Jody all of your Java needs to patched or upgraded

you have 1.3.1.09, 1.4.2.02 neither of which are compliant

you need to be at 1.4.2.11 or later, and SDK 1.3.1.18 or later

Jody,

You need 1.4.2.11 or newer in order to have the DST fix incorporated. There is also a TZUpdater tool that will apply the fix to older versions but I don't think it will handle the 1.3 version you have (I could well be wrong).

I would suggest you download and install a newer version - that's the easiest way to make sure you're all set:
