FileNotFoundException when starting java

I am starting an application with remote debug and suspend on start turned on.

When I connect remotely to the process, I getting stoppe开发者_JAVA百科d in an uncaught FileNotFoundException in ZoneInfo.getTimeZone()

It is cause by the line: new PatternLayout("[%d{HH:mm:ss}] %-5p: %m%n").

apparently java is not finding timezone for Israel in jre/lib/zi directory.

I appreciate if you know how to fix it. Thanks.

Edit: It appears the problem is that time zone is defined as "Israel" and Java only have "Asia/Jerusalem" time zone.

How can It be changed on linux machine?

Israeli time zone should be Asia/Jerusalem. I see it under my jre/lib/zi.

I believe that there can be 2 reasons for failure of your program:

• this file does not exist on your system.

• something is wrong in definition of time zone on your computer.

So,

• Check if the file Jerusalem is there
• Check what is the default time zone returned by TimeZone.getDefault() and what is configured on control panel.

From what I found so far this is an inconsistency between suse 10 os and java. the os calls the time zone "(GMT+2:00) Israel" while java expects "(GMT+2:00) Jerusalem".
There is a workaround - starting java with the flag -Duser.timezone=Asia/Jerusalem or -Duser.timezone=GMT+2. the second option is not good for daylight savings. more details on this blog.
