How To Build A Limber Jack Doll

JDK5, Ubuntu and Summer Time

To begin with I'm just when switching to Linux, specifically Kubuntu.

first encountered a serious problem which relates to the time zone observed by Jave. Configuration:

1) JRE6 installed "the package" (using aptitude) to use it to run Javowe tools, applets in the browser, etc.
2) JDK5 downloaded from the Sun and unzipped. It is used for development purposes. Here JAVA_HOME points.

The problem is that the Java JDK did not include DST offset (in the installed "the package" Java is OK). After several hours of hair from the head stutter found this bug notification . The title refers to what the truth of JDK6, but as it turns out also fits version 5 I made a slight change from what I described, namely:

 
 sudo cp / etc / localtime / etc / localtime.bak 
 sudo ln-s-f / usr / share / zoneinfo / Europe / Warsaw / etc / localtime and 
 

the problem. Weird ...

PS IM
What do you recommend? The best would be something that can handle both mail and Jabber.
