Hi,

I'm using the following code:
    System.out.println(""+new Date());

Surprisingly the output is not correct. ( if the time is 10:00 then the
output is 11:00 ).

I'm sure that the problem has something to do with daylight savings because
when
I changed my computer date to January it worked fine.

When looking at the toString() method of Date object I saw that it use the
default TimeZone,
and I did not find a way to disable the use of daylight from the TimeZone
object.

Is there a way to disable the daylight savings ? if so how ?

Thanks in advance,

Hanan Hermon,
