Title
Body
With Java Version 1.5.0_06 on both Windows and Ubuntu Linux : Whenever I add minutes to the date "2008/10/05 00:00:00" , it seems that an extra hour is wrongly added. ie: adding 360 minutes to 2008/10/05 00:00:00 at midnight should arrive at 2008/10/05 06:00:00 But it is arriving at 2008/10/05 07:00:00 The totally perplexing thing is that this ONLY happens when the day is 2008/10/05, all other days that I try perform the minutes addition correctly. Am I going crazy or is this a bug in Java ? SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss"); try { String date = "2008/10/05 00:00:00"; int minutesToAdd = 360; // 6 hrs Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); cal.setTime(sdf.parse(date)); cal.add(Calendar.MINUTE, minutesToAdd); System.out.println(cal.getTime()); } catch (ParseException e) {}
