Unparseable date with Java 1.6 Update 7

[GoogleCodeExporter]

After doing a code review on a diffent pc I check out the project on my
computer. But not all issues were shown in the review table.

Eclipse was running with Java 6 update 7 and in the error log occured many
unparseable date exception.

After changing the jre to Java 6 Update 10 the errors were solved.

It seems that the Update 7 can not handle the MESZ time zone. After
changing it to GMT in the review files it worked and all issues were
available. 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Just start eclipse with an jre1.6 Update 7 and see the error log.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Unparseable date error in the error log.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Eclipse 3.4 Ganymede with JDK 1.6 Update 7 and Jupiter 3.4

If applicable, what editor does the problem occur in (Jupiter is tested
against the 'Eclipse for RCP/Plug-in Developers' so the editors may vary)?

Please provide any additional information below.
You should use a timezone which is supported in Java 6 Update 7 also.

So, is this something that needs to be fixed by Jupiter?  We don't do anything
special with the dates.  If this is Java's bug then there may be nothing that 
can be
done except to recommend people update to the latest Java 6.

May I ask what operating system you encountered this on?

it's really too bad you closed this as wontfix because it makes all of us in 
Europe 
using Java 6 to always have to manually change MESZ to GMT.
