Works with Diablo as well:

hammer# setenv JAVA_HOME /usr/local/diablo-jdk1.6.0
hammer# java -version
java version "1.6.0_07"
Diablo Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_07-b02)
Diablo Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 10.0-b23, mixed mode)
hammer# echo $TZ
TZ: Undefined variable.
hammer# javac TimeTest.java
hammer# java TimeTest
hammer# cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin /etc/localtime
hammer# date
Thu May 27 17:26:54 CEST 2010
Current time in milliseconds = 1274974109405 => Thu May 27 17:28:29 CEST 2010
Current time zone: Europe/Berlin
hammer# cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York /etc/localtime
