How to set system clock in java

[Jonas Hei]

It probably is a daft question - but please can anyone tell how to set
system date using the java api (by setting system date I mean the
computer's clock. For example, in win32 api SetSystemTime(const
SYSTEMTIME* lpSystemTime) would set the current datetime and in C
runtime library (at least on some linux) adjtime() would do so)

JNI. Define a native method to invoke the appropriate system function.
