Try the code below. Changes from your code are:
a) Explicity set the timezone as "America/New_York"
b) Explicitly set the DST_OFFSET to make your intention clear that you
want 1AM to mean before or after DST switch.
I tested it by changing my system clock to different times and it always works.
private static void testDiffBetweenTimesDuringDSTSwitch() {
Calendar calendarStart = Calendar.getInstance();
calendarStart.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/New_York"));
calendarStart.set(2007, Calendar.NOVEMBER, 3, 18, 0);
Calendar calendarEnd = Calendar.getInstance();
calendarEnd.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/New_York"));
calendarEnd.set(2007, Calendar.NOVEMBER, 4, 1, 0);
calendarEnd.set(Calendar.DST_OFFSET, 3600000);
printTimeDiff(calendarStart, calendarEnd);
}
