Updating timezone data in older Java VMs

Wouldn't it be nice if you could install the latest version of the JDK or JRE in your production environment? But maybe you just can't do that because of your company policy, testing cycles, or adoption process. Unfortunately, whether you can update or not, things change. Some things affect your application whether you want them to or not. For example, as timezone data changes, software must change to keep pace. Wouldn't it be great if you could update just the timezone data in your existing vm...might be easier to get approval for that instead of approval to replace your complete JDK/JRE.

The Timezone Updater Tool allows you to update timezone data in older JDK/JREs. Using the updater tool, you're able to update the data without updating the entire JDK/JRE. You can learn more about this product from the online article Timezone Updater Tool.
