    Description

      Currently, the "user.timezone" property is not defined at the API level, which sometimes creates confusion to developers.

      :::::
      os.version = 4.0
      user.home = C:\WINNT\Profiles\weinert
      user.timezone =
      java.awt.printerjob = sun.awt.windows.WPrinterJob
      file.encoding = Cp1252
      java.specification.version = 1.4
      :::: etc. pp


      System property user.timezone has no (empty string) value.

      This breaks or disables all applications depending on this info.

      Most JDKs 1.3.x and earlier have this fault.

      By the way The latest version, knowing the time zone, was 1.3 beta.
