Java Timezone Updates - Daylight Savings problem

Java keeps it's time zone data independently from the operating system (at least on linux), if you want to keep it updated you should download Time Zone Updater from oracle(sun)

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/tzupdater-readme-136440.html

and then run the command

java -jar tzupdater.jar -u

The user should have permission over the JDK/JRE directories.
