I have an instance of Java which seems to be using a completely incorrect time zone. Instead of using the Australia/Sydney time zone which Windows is using, it is using the America/Caracas time zone.

I checked the Windows time through the system clock firstly, then checked HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/ and ControlSet001, ControlSet002. All are set to a Sydney time zone.

Does anybody know if this is a bug in Java, or if it is referring to a time set elsewhere?

Java version is 1.6.0_06

    Ensure you set the timezone for the JVM when starting the application:

    -Duser.timezone="Australia/Sydney"
