Hi all,

The support team wanted to make sure everyone in the US was aware that 
with the upcoming changes to daylight savings time, they may need to 
upgrade the version of Java that Anthill runs on. Anthill will continue 
to run fine, but may not correctly report on build dates if Java is not 
upgraded prior to the March 11th change.

Sun, IBM and BEA each provide tools that update the daily savings time 
rules for existing installations of Java.

Sun Updater: http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
IBM Updater: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/dst/index.html
JRocket Updater: 
http://support.bea.com/support_news/Patch_for_2007_Daylight_Savings_Time_Changes.jsp

Recent versions of the JDKs and JREs should be up to date and not need 
upgrades. For Sun, those versions are:

    * 1.3.1_18 (or greater)
    * 1.4.2_11 (or greater)
    * 5.0_u6 (or greater)
    * 6 (all versions)


Thanks,

The Anthill Support Team
