SuSE 9.3 DST and Java

[glamis450r]

Hello, I have SuSE 9.3 installed, I applied the timezone-2.3.4-23.9.i586.rpm patch and verified my time on the server is correct. I also updated /etc/locatime with the /usr/share/zoneinf/PST8PDT file (I'm in the Pacific timezone for the United States). When the DST changes occured this year, the time updated correctly as the date command is concerened. I have one big problem though and that is java 1.4.2_13 (supposed to be compliant with the new dst changes) is reporting a date of an hour earlier than it is. I'm using this code to check the time:

import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.TimeZone;


public class Test1
{
public static void main( String[] args )
{
DateFormat dateFormat = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.FULL,Dat eFormat.FULL);

Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
// now.add(Calendar.HOUR, 3);
System.out.println( dateFormat.format(now.getTime()) );
}
}

Anybody know what the problem can be? I can run this test on Windows and the time shows up fine. On a side note, mysql also is reporting the wrong time where as on windows with the same version of mysql, the time shows correctly.

Please HELP!!!!

If anybody runs into this, the problem was resolved by running yast -> System -> Date and Time and changing the Hardware clock from UTC to Local Time or Local Time to UTC depending how it was set. Then I had to restart any java processes, and mysql.
