Java is downstream from us, so you should ask your Java supplier. For tzdb itself, all you should need for Samoa is version 2012g or later, dated 2012-10-17 20:59:45 -0700, although if you're going to upgrade you're probably better off going with the current tzdb version 2018e so that other timezones are handled better.

If you are using Java 8 or later, you can call ZoneRulesProvider.getVersions(zoneId) to find out what version you have available https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/time/zone/ZoneRulesProvider.h... To get a later version, the simplest solution is to upgrade your Java version. See the release notes for each version to see which tzdb version is included: https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/8u-relnotes-2225394.html Stephen
