Request for 7u2 phase 2 approval for:

7092679: (tz) Java getting wrong timezone/DST info on Solaris 11
http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=7092679

The JDK 8 fix was reviewed by:
Sean Coffey, Naoto Sato, Yuka Kamiya, and Kelly O'Hair (makefile changes)

Justification:
A few months ago Solaris 11 made some (incompatible) changes in the time 
zone configuration area. As a result, the Java runtime doesn't detect 
the default time zone correctly on Solaris 11 b168 and later, and wrong 
local time may be produced by Java classes. This fix is to deal with the 
new time zone configuration information of Solaris 11.

Regression tests for this fix are (still) in the closed area.

Please note that this fix addresses the 64-bit Solaris build problem in 
JDK 8 (7098454).


Thanks,
Masayoshi
