java time

[Vano Beridze]

Hello

I've got Fedora Core 2
kernel 2.6.8

if I run a command date
it gives me the output
Fri Oct 29 22:03:50 GEST 2004

but If I compile and run a simple java program (with jdk1.4.2 or jdk1.5)

public class A
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
       System.out.println(new java.util.Date());
    }
}

it gives me the output
Fri Oct 29 23:03:50 GEST 2004

I'm sure it's a fedora problem, because I did not have that problems on 
Core 1 or previous releases.

What should I do?

Thank you

Is it just me, or are the output of both the "date" command and the java
program exactly the same? :-)

Its just you, they were run exactly 1 hour apart.   B^)

They differ by an hour.  What does the java program source look like?

How about using java.util.Calendar? java.util.Date is somewhat old, and 
lots of functionality has been implemented in java.util.Calendar that 
was not backported to java.util.Date (localization issues were quoted as 
the reason for "dumping" java.util.Date)
