Help ... Java not reading correct AIX system time.
I have Java 1.4.2 (IBM AIX build ca142-20050929a SR3) installed on AIX 5.3.
My system time is set correctly and both date and smitty confirm the correct date, time, and timezone:
#date
Thu Sep 21 15:12:42 EDT 2006
However, when I check the sytem time in Java (Date(System.currentTimeMillis())), I get:
Thu Sep 21 10:12:42 GMT-05:00 2006
It looks like Java is reading the system time as the GMT time and then subtracting 5 hours to get to EDT; however I went through smitty and confirmed that my system time and timezone are both set correctly.
Any ideas?

sttime
sttime(3) ShapeTools Toolkit Library sttime(3)
NAME
stMktime, stWriteTime - date and time handling
SYNOPSIS
#include <config.h>
#include <sttk.h.h>
time_tstMktime (char *string);
char*stWriteTime (time_t date);
DESCRIPTION
stMktime scans the given string and tries to read a date and time from it. It understands various formats of date strings. The following is
a list of all valid formats, optional parts in brackets.
[Tue] Jan 5[,] [19]93
This includes the standard asctime(3) format.
Jan 5 With no year given, the year defaults to the current year.
[19]93/01/05 This notation requires month and day represented by exactly two digits.
5.1.[19]93 This is the usual German notation.
5.1. German notation referencing the current year.
A certain time, given together with the date must always have the following form.
hours:minutes[:seconds]
Each of the fields must be an integer value within the proper range (hours: 0-23, minutes and seconds: 0-59). Values below
10 may be written as one digit numbers.
The time value may be placed anywhere in the date string: at the beginning, at the end, or somewhere in the middle. Any amount of white-
space may be given between a field of the time value and the separating colon. The time is always considered to be local time.
stWriteTime generates a time string similar to asctime(3) from its date argument.
SEE ALSO
asctime(3)
BUGS
Time Zone Names within the time string (like `MET') are not handled properly. In most cases they will cause a failure.
