    I have Java 1.5.0.0 installed on AIX 5.3.

    My system time is set correctly and both date and smitty confirm the correct date, time, and

    timezone:

    #date
    Wed Feb 3 07:23:09 EST 2010

    However, when I check the sytem time in Java (Date(System.currentTimeMillis())), I get:
    Wed Feb 3 02:23:09 EST 2010

    It looks like Java is reading the system time as the GMT time and then subtracting 5 hours

    to get to EDT; however I went through smitty and confirmed that my system time and timezone

    are both set correctly.

    Any ideas?
