[Orekit Users] June 2012 Leap Second

[Matt Edwards <matt.edwards.issinc@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I am trying to verify if the upcoming leap second has been added into the
toolkit or not. I am currently using jar 5.0.3 in my project and am not seeing
proper functionality.

I have:

UTCScale utcScale = TimeScalesFactory.getUTC();
String date = "2012-07-01T00:00:00.000";
AbsoluteDate ad = new AbsoluteDate(date, utcScale);
AbsoluteDate base = new AbsoluteDate(2012, 06, 30, 23, 59, 59.0, utcScale);

System.out.println("UTC offset from TAI:" + utcScale.offsetFromTAI(base));
System.out.println("UTC offset from TAI:" + utcScale.offsetFromTAI(ad));
System.out.println("Duration: " + ad.durationFrom(base));

prints:
UTC offset from TAI:-34.0
UTC offset from TAI:-34.0
Duration: 1.0

This code prints a difference of -34.0 seconds. However there will be a Leap
Second added at the end of June 2012 resulting that the proper answer is -35
seconds. and a Duration of 2seconds between these dates.

The dates should function as per this link

2012 June 30,     23h 59m 59s
2012 June 30,     23h 59m 60s
2012 July  1,        0h  0m  0s

If I have something flawed in my approach please let me know. Or if there will
be a new release prior to the end of the month, I will grab the update then.

Regards,
