Hi, running in a RedHat linux 2.6.9 environment I get:

# date
Thu Jan 3 11:14:29 Europe/Rome 2008

# hwclock
Thu 03 Jan 2008 11:14:49 AM Europe/Rome -0.940606 seconds

but

System.out.println(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()));

produces:

Thu Jan 03 12:14:38 CET 2008

What's wrong?

Maybe Java isn't picking up the default timezone correctly.

What does this output?

System.out.println(TimeZone.getDefault().getID());

It shows the expected output:

Europe/Rome

I don't think it depends on timezone: I tried to compare the output of
System.currentTimeMillis() in my RedHat and in a Win XP where I get
correct results. They differ by about 1 hour (60 * 60 * 1000) as if
system clock was wrong but it isn't.
