Bobby Woolf of IBM Software Services for WebSphere notes some potential problems for enterprises when that happens:
The Energy Policy Act of 2005 changed when daylight saving time (DST) begins and ends in the United States, starting in 2007. This could be the Year 2000 Problem all over again.
Before anyone jumps off the deep end, though, Woolf provides some useful links as to how to fix or mitigate the problem. But it seems IBM doesn't want anyone to be lax about this. One of the links is to an alert with this heading:
URGENT! Actions Required: Changes to Daylight Saving Time will affect IBM WebSphere Application Server and its associated Operating Systems
JavaLobby also addresses the issue:
In order to avoid problems related to the daylight savings time changes, you should be using a version of the JRE greater or equal to the following:
* JDK 6 Project (beta) * J2SE 5.0 update 6 or later * J2SE 1.4.2_11 or later
You can find more information here, too.
On the plus side, if you have a lot more work to do leading up to this change, you'll still get that extra hour of sleep when DST rolls around.
