Time Zone Database
Hi, We need to update our timezone version of our jdk, but we are not sure it the latest version of tzdata2014j will work fine with our current version of jdk 1.6. Could you confirm that there won't be any problem about this? Many thanks, Antonio

I know of one compatibility problem with tzdata2014j and Oracle Java. See: http://bugs.java.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=8064560 By the way, the latest tz version (as of today) is now tzdata2015a. This version should fix the abovementioned compatibility problem. Also, it's needed if you want to keep up with this weekend's clock changes in and near Cancún.
