I need to install a time zone update to java on a RedHat 5.3 server. I researched online and there is a tool called tzupdater which does this, but the latest version is 2011n and I need to install patch 2012b.
Does anyone know how to manually install a tzdata file?
Best Answer
tzupdater README shows the required version is now available.
It appears that the timezones are installed in the
jre/libsubdirectory. Timezone definintions are exploded in thejre/lib/zidirectory tree. If you have the correct timezone files you should be able to copy them into place. I would recommend waiting for the updater files if at all possible.If you have the JDK installed you may have two jre directory trees. If you have multiple java versions installed you will have multiple jre directory trees.
