In Japanese NT, build a small Java code:

import java.util.Locale;
import java.util.*;

public class testtime{

    public static void main(String args[]) {
     Date d1 = new Date();
System.out.println("here date:\t"+d1);
        
    }
}

1)In Japanese NT, set:
Control panel ->"Reginal Setting"->"Japanese"

The above program output:
here date: Wed Oct 28 00:38:37 JST 1998

2)In Japanese NT, set:
Control panel ->"Reginal Setting"->"English(US)"

The above program output:
here date: Tue Oct 28 07:38:37 PST 1998

3) But the desktop time is: 10/28/1998 10:38:37 AM!!!!

It seem like always Java VM take time from mechine
and convert them to default locale timezone and DO
NOT care the really mechine setting! That is mean if
a user design Java code in US and use Japanese NT as
design platform, he/she will always get Japanese
time as default! Even his/her PC is in EST or PST.

I think it is really unfair and big bug.
