Java may have its own copy of the timezone database, but it must use something from the user or system to determine the timezone on the machine where it is running. And given the behavior we've seen, my guess is that it uses the environment variable TZ if it is set or the /etc/localtime file in some manner otherwise. Or it may be using another library that depends on those to determine the timezone. I haven't had the time to try to track down the Java source code and determine what it uses and I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to anytime soon.
