Greetings,

Any assistance and/or further leads on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

I have some issues with implementing DST rules from the Olsen DB via the data fetched from the JRE 6.0

Olsen says that DST change in Central Europe is at 1am, however in Germany and all other countries in this time zone convention says it is always at 3am, when the time moves to 2am

Central European Time [Europe/Paris, UTC+1hrs]

Olsen/JRE DST end rule >>>> Last Sunday of Oct at 0100 hrs

MicroSoft DST end rule >>>> 26/10/2008 03:00 (apparently correct also)

This appears to be the Olsen DB in error, or are the Olsen times actually in UTC? This would explain as at that time UTC 0100 would in fact be CET 0300 at the point when CET is rolled back one hour?

Best regards, Ian Davies
