Description

The following test code gives different results on Harmony than on RI. Harmony outputs:

d = 1143334200000

and RI outputs:

d = 1143337800000

import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.TimeZone;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Locale;

public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) {
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM dd, yyyy H:mm:ss.SSS",
Locale.ENGLISH);
TimeZone zone = TimeZone.getTimeZone("Europe/London");
df.setTimeZone(zone);
Date d = null;
try

{ d = df.parse("March 26, 2006 01:50:00.000"); }

catch (Exception e)

{ e.printStackTrace(); }

System.err.println("d = " + d.getTime());
}
