Is there a reasonable solution for this yet? I'm running java

I had hoped the information I gave was close to a reasonable
solution. :-) I guess not.
Did you try to update the JavaFoundation.framework? Which copy or
copies of it? Was the update operation successful? In other
words, did you still have a loadable frameworks at the end?
If so, did it then still show you the wrong information for the
2007 DST switch?
If you can explain what symptoms you are seeing and what you have
tried, I can say more.
There are symptoms I heard of that I cannot reproduce, so if you
have more info, anything would be appreciated.
If by "reasonable solution", you mean has Apple shipped an update
yet, I think that they have not.

Somehow, it happened. I tried to make the point about fixing
the zoneinfo.zip file in JavaFoundation in as simple a manner
as I could. Less opportunity for mistakes, right? Wrong. :-)
I found two problems. One was my bad and the other was a bug, I
think, that has been hanging around NSTimeZone for quite a
while. I am much less able to find existing bug reports these
days.
The first problem is that there are files in the /usr/share/
zoneinfo file that do not represent time zones. They needed to
be filtered out of the zip task.
The second problem is that if one goes through the list of
available IDs for available time zones, some of the them fail.
I was calling toString() on them and got an NPE. Not good.
The offending time zone IDs are:
Asia/Riyadh87
Asia/Riyadh88
Asia/Riyadh89
Mideast/Riyadh87
Mideast/Riyadh88
Mideast/Riyadh89
The "Asia/Riyadh" time zone works, but none of these other do.
I think this is an existing bug, though. I just sounds too
familiar.
It turns out the solution to both problems is to filter this
stuff out of the zip file.
So, I am updating the project I posted. The fixFoundation
target, with the excludes on the zip task, will now look like
this:
<target name="fixFoundation">
<tempfile property="temp" />
<mkdir dir="${temp}" />
<unjar src="${jarfile}" dest="${temp}" />
<delete quiet="true" file="${temp}/com/webobjects/
foundation/TimeZoneInfo/zoneinfo.zip" />
<zip destfile="${temp}/com/webobjects/foundation/
TimeZoneInfo/zoneinfo.zip" basedir="${zoneInfoDir}"
excludes="*.tab,**/Riyadh87,**/Riyadh88,**/Riyadh89,**/\
+VERSION" />
<move file="${jarfile}" tofile="${jarfile}_bak" />
<jar basedir="${temp}" destfile="${jarfile}" />
<delete quiet="true" dir="${temp}" />
</target>
And while we are in the neighborhood, I found out that people
may have more copies of the zoneinfo.zip file hanging about.
I am working with a clean install. If you have an upgraded
install, you may have copies of the file that are not being
used, but have not been removed.
Here is my original list:
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaFoundation.framework/Resources/
Java/javafoundation.jar
/Library/WebObjects/lib/JavaFoundation.jar (2 copies, one for
WebServerResources and one for Resources)
/Library/WebServer/Documents/WebObjects/Java/com/webobjects/
foundation/TimeZoneInfo/zoneinfo.zip (not in a jar file, actually)
/Library/WebServer/Documents/WebObjects/Java/wojavaclient.jar
Here is an expanded list:
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaFoundation.framework/Resources/
Java/javafoundation.jar
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaFoundation.framework/
WebServerResources/Java/JavaFoundation.jar
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaFoundation.framework/
WebServerResources/Java/com/webobjects/foundation/TimeZoneInfo/
zoneinfo.zip
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaEODistribution.framework/
Versions/A/WebServerResources/Java/wojavaclient.jar
/System/Library/WebObjects/WODocumentRoot/WebObjects/Java/
JavaFoundation.jar
/System/Library/WebObjects/WODocumentRoot/WebObjects/Java/
wojavaclient.jar
/System/Library/WebObjects/WODocumentRoot/WebObjects/Java/com/
webobjects/foundation/TimeZoneInfo/zoneinfo.zip
/System/Library/Java/wojavaclient.jar

Yikes!
