> You should compile it with the version you plan on testing

Ignore the above line:  the -source/-target options to javac make this  
a moot point.

>> folks,
>>
>> i'm sure by now, everyone is aware of the NEW bug found in java's dst
>> patch.
>>
>> i need the dumbest, simplest, easiest java code to run on several
>> different versions of java on several different o/s'es to display the
>> current time.
>>
>> my plan is to load this on a server, change the time to 1:59 AM sun, run
>> the code, wait 2 minutes and run it again.  hopefully, the result will
>> be 3:01 AM sun.  i know this is a nasty, brute-force way of testing
>> this. but, i can't think of any other way.  there have been several
>> tools to test the time by checking the timezone files directly.  at this
>> point, i don't trust ANY of them.  i just want to see the current time
>> via java.
>>
>> if someone could post this, i'm sure there are a lot of others in the
>> same boat that i'm in.
>>
>> tia...
