Code Review for JDK-8141243: Unexpected timezone returned after parsing a date

[Ramanand Patil]

Hi all,

 

Please review a fix for Bug Id - HYPERLINK "https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8141243"JDK-8141243.

<https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8141243>

 

Issue - When parsing the virtual timezone "UTC" with java.text.SimpleDateFormat, the timezone is set to the first timezone that matches an actual timezone in the UTC group, which is Antarctica/Troll. When comparing this timezone with the result of TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"), we fail.
