Question

I tried many examples of code where i do basically

String[] IDs = java.util.TimeZone.getAvailableIDs();

and it doesn’t work.
I’ve also tried another frame of example code, i.e. this and it returns:

at sun.util.calendar.ZoneInfoFile.getZoneIDs(ZoneInfoFile.java:785)
at sun.util.calendar.ZoneInfo.getAvailableIDs(ZoneInfo.java:560)
at java.util.TimeZone.getAvailableIDs(TimeZone.java:508)
at TimeZoneDemo.main(uu.java:6)

I tried also to reinstall the JRE and JDK, but the error persists. So what’s the point?
When I try to do String[] eg = {"one","two"}; it works.
