HEjsa jeg har postet nedenst�ende sp�rgsm�l p� suns board, men ikke f�et
nogen svar. Derfor pr�ver jeg her.

I'm using java.util.Timer to execute a java.util.TimerTask at a fixed rate
(5 min). It works fine until I simulate daylight saving time.

When I increment the computers time by 1 hour, the TimerTask is executed
many times right after each other (probably 60/5 times).

When the time is set back one hour the task is executed after 65 minutes.

I want the task to be executed every 5 minutes, even if the computer time is
changed due to DST.

Is that possible?

Thanks
Dahl
