Re: Pacific/Easter TimeZone.java

[Bastiaan Huisman]

Hi Mark,

I seem to run into one problem with timezone ART. Initializing the new
TimeZone.java will result in a failure because of this ART :-(. Removing
ART from TimeZone.java will resolve this, but that's probably not the
way to go ;-). I have to look into it further, but as I'm no expert in
it, and I'm a bit more busy than a few weeks ago, this will take me some
time.

Greets,
Bastiaan
