After running TZUpdater, how do I know that my JRE software has been updated correctly?
The TZUpdater tool automatically runs tests on the JRE software after the update is complete, to verify whether the update was successful. You can check success again by running TZUpdater with the -t flag. When using the TZUpdater131 tool (for J2SE 1.3.1_x update releases), you must run the test program after the update is complete. Run the following command: java -jar tzupdater131.jar -t To verify whether or not an update was successful without using the TZUpdater tool, Sun has provided a simple application that tests your JRE software’s timezone data. To test your JRE software, follow the steps below: • Download the DSTTest.java application. • Compile the application. • Run the application, providing a date and time that falls after the date of the time change, for example: java DSTTest “11/04/07 3:00 AM” The application will inform you whether or not your JRE software will be running in daylight saving time at that time.
