It is really annoying to demand that I provide a JVM version when
I am submitting a bug about DOCUMENTATIOn on your WEB SITE. As my
little act of rebellion I will give you a version string for a JVM I
do NOT use: "Kaffe Virtual Machine", "Copyright (c) 1997 T. J. Wilkinson & Associates, London, UK.", "Engine: Just-in-time Version: 0.83"

The sample code in
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html
carefully constructs a SimpleTimeZone called "pdt" and doesn't appear
to use it for anything.
  Interestingly enough, when I played around with SimpleDateFormat
a little it appeared to assume a default timezone (amusingly enough,
Pacific).
Perhaps the sample code forgot to invoke the inherited
setTimeZone() method?
