VRTSjre package for DST fix on HP-UX
-----------------------------------------------

JRE is distrubted as native package format for both 1.4(VRTSjre) and 1.5(VRTSjre15) versions.

A bug, which breaks the functionality of DST when using EST, MST, and HST abbreviations, has been reported in the latest jdk versions.

------------

This year, the U.S. has changed the way Daylight Savings will be handled. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 extended Daylight Saving Time (DST) in the U.S. beginning in 2007. DST change now  starts  on the second Sunday of March and ends  on the first Sunday of November.  Many regions of Canada and Mexico have and are expected to follow suit as well.

The Symantec-provided Java Runtime Environments (JRE) VRTSjre15, will be affected by the upcoming changes in DST as a result of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. This will cause the time reported internally by the JRE to be off by 1 hour for 4 weeks each year, causing incorrect date and time processing for Symantec applications relying on these JREs. The new DST rules will go into effect in March 2007.

In order to comply with the DST changes, updates to the JREs have been provided.
