On my computer running under Windows 95, the default timezone is MET (Middle European Time = GMT + 1 / +2 DST). Java code such as the following should return MET as default timzone and a raw offset of 1 (* 60 * 60 * 1000).
SimpleTimeZone stz = (SimpleTimeZone)SimpleTimeZone .getDefault();
System.out.println(stz.getID());
System.out.println(stz.getRawOffset() / (60 * 60 * 1000));
The values returned by the code are GMT and 0, no matter what the actual timezone is. If I change the timezone in my system's configuration, to EST for example, Java fails to notice this and still returns the values above.
