A few small bug fixes and UI corrections in my earlier project:
Application:
Execute with java ver. 1.6
java -jar TZConvert.jar
Source:
A simple timezone converter

So I wanted to fool around in netbeans, swing and java – here is the outcome. It’s a simple program which lets you set the date/time in one timezone, and see the corresponding date/time in another timezone. I needed this – am not always online but still need to figure out the time in different zones. Invocation is simple, unarchive the tar.gz and then execute: java -jar TZConvert.jar
TZConvert.jar is in the dist directory. You can download it here. The program is GPLed for extra goodness 
.. note that it is developed on java 1.6. If you are using Ubuntu Feisty you can now do an:
aptitude install sun-java6*
(I forgot the exact package name!) My original plan was to make this a Thunderbird plugin, but it appears I cannot write plugins in java for Thunderbird.
