A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
for:
        Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
        now.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0);
        now.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, now.getFirstDayOfWeek());
        System.out.println("now : " + now.getTime());

result:
C:\j2sdk1.4.2_04\bin\javaw.exe
now : Sun Jul 25 00:42:11 CEST 2004

that is OK but now :

import java.util.Calendar;

public class CalendarTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
now.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0);
System.out.println("now : " + now.getTime());
now.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, now.getFirstDayOfWeek());
System.out.println("now : " + now.getTime());
}
}

result:
C:\j2sdk1.4.2_04\bin\javaw.exe
now : Wed Jul 28 00:43:47 CEST 2004
now : Wed Jul 28 00:43:47 CEST 2004

WRONG !!! WRONG !!! WRONG !!!

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
seems a call to get on that field before set makes the result good
