The jdk1.2.1's SimpleDateFormat.format() either produces GMT+xx strings instead of
the expected 3 letter acronyms (short time representation) for specific
time zones (see table below), and/or displays the wrong times (1 hour offset).
Also, for some timezones, the string displayed by the java VM does not match what is returned by the Solaris date command.

1. Change time zone setting by changing the TZ value.
setenv TZ <timezone>
2. Note the date, and time and timezone label.
3. Using java, do a System.out.println(formatter.format(currentTime))
  where formatter is a SimpleDateFormat, and currentTime is a
Data object.
