FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
1.3.1_18-b01

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
New DST rules are not in effect in this version of Java, despite of http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Intl/USDST/

java.util.Date works incorrect.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
I run this test:

***************************************
package samples;

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;

public class TimeChangesToJVM {

/*
* Run the program and try to change the system time in control panel.
*/

static SimpleDateFormat sdf=new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
static SimpleDateFormat sdf_hours=new SimpleDateFormat("[MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm]");

public static long hours(Date start, Date end) {
long hr=(end.getTime()-start.getTime())/3600/1000;
System.out.println(""+hr+" hours from "+sdf_hours.format(start)+
" to "+sdf_hours.format(end));
return hr;
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
long difference=
hours(sdf.parse("03/11/2006"),sdf.parse("03/12/2006"))-
hours(sdf.parse("03/11/2007"),sdf.parse("03/12/2007"));

System.out.println("JRE ("+System.getProperty("java.runtime.version")+") "+
((difference==0)?"does not":"does")+" follow to new DST rule.");
} catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

}
***************************************


It works fine for Java 1.5.0_06, but works wrong for any of 1.3 versions.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The program should detect that length of day 03/11/2007 is 23 hours, not 24 - because of new DST rules.
ACTUAL -
It says, length of the day 03/11/2007 is 24 hours.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
