I know I can feed VM arguments as follows <pre class="prettyprint"><code>-Duser.timezone="Australia/Sydney" </code></pre> Is there a programmatic way to do the equivalent? I would like the setting to be applied across the entire virtual machine.

<code>java.util.TimeZone.setDefault()</code> can be used to set a default time zone to be returned by <code>getDefault()</code>.

How do I programmatically set the time zone in Java?
