SetClock is also available with Java source to download. SetClock is not necessary for Windows Vista, which has its own atomic clock setting procedure, though you can use SetClock if you want, or if you suspect Vista is not maintaining your clock’s accuracy.
Unfortunately SetClock only works for Windows computers since it has to use a small piece of JNI native code to actually set the system clock. If you are willing to port the tiny piece of JNI code to your platform, I would be happy to incorporate it so that SetClock works on your platform too.
