Hi, Apologies if this is a bit off-topic as it's specific only to java timezones. The latest 2010k updates for java are not (yet) freely available from Sun. ( http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/tzdata-versions-138805.html ) I have not looked into it, but I assume if I pay I could get the update. For Linux there there is a package "tzdata-java" which updates /usr/share/javazi/ but this does not used by the Sun JDK. Anyone know is an alternative to updating the Sun JDK timezones? I can of course program something - cases like Egypt changing time for Ramadan are fairly rare. Thanks Al
You could try Google: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/tzupdater-readme-136440.html Or Joda-Time Stephen On 20 August 2010 11:05, Alistair Forbes <alistair.forbes@2e-systems.com> wrote:

Hi Stephen Thanks for the link - unfortunately they only provide a download for 1.3.29 and the version with 2010k is 1.3.33 ("Please contact your local SunServices Office to obtain this version"). I will have another look at Joda time - it could work for a few cases we have. Al On 08/20/2010 12:44 PM, Stephen Colebourne wrote:

I'm from Oracle and do manage this tzupdater release. Yes, tzupdater tool with Olson 2010k is not freely available and we need to contact support folks to have it. v 1.3.33 with Olson 2010l is now available via support folks also. Now v1.3.29 freely available for download and we're working on to release v1.3.31 with Olson 2010i from download site (expected GA on Monday).
