      The timezone string for for Central Europe in the
      java.util.TimeZone class is set to ECT. On Solaris
      the timezone environment variable is set to either
      CET or MET (they are the same). If TZ is set to MET
      Java translates it into Middle East Time (GMT+3.5 hours).

      There needs to be some consistency between the systems
      as it causes a lot of problems with client/server system
      running with the server in one time zone and multiple clients
      running in different time zones.
