SimpleDateFormat and Daylight Savings Time

807588Jun 3 2009 — edited Jun 3 2009

I am trying to parse into a Date "April 15 1999" with "MMM d YYYY" using SimpleDateFormat. This string parses w/out error and the resulting Date is: Thu Apr 15 00:00:00 PST 1999. This is correct in that I am in California. The problem is that 4/15 is Daylight Savings Time in 1999. The getTimeZone result for the parent DateFormat is "SystemV/PST8PDT". I have wrestled with this for over a day now, I admit it, I need help.

Anyone have any ideas what could be happening here?

Thanks
Roger
