At the risk of "teaching granny to suck eggs", and hopefully Wolfgang
will forgive me, but does this help?
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/TimeZone.html
There's a "getOffset" function that seems to be able to work out the
correct time offset from UTC for a given locale.
Not being a Java guru, I have no idea if it works! However, I'd also
wonder what happens when the time is coming in from NTP and there's a
setting to "adjust for daylight savings time" - which I can't remember
if Windows has.
Linux doesn't. At least, not in KDE anyway, I have my systems running
with the NTP server setting the clock, and all seems well at present.
The hardware clock, on the other hand, I have no idea what it is set to.
So, we could have three problems:
* the hardware clock is wrong;
* the hardware clock is adjusting the time;
* Java is also adjusting the time;
HTH
Cheers,
Norm.
