------------------------------------------------------------
Thats correct. The TimeZone class, in fact, comes updated not with the
Operating System, but with the JDK itself. Updating the JDK also means updating
this database.
It comes from a Time Zone Database (there are more details about it here:

> It would be great if the timezone element in Maven 2 could be extendend in a

> Hi,
> Is there a way in Maven to adjust the TimeZone element in the pom.xml to
> daylight savings time?
> We have an international team and I like the fact that we can see on the
> maven generated web site's team list what time it is for a specific
> developer. What I am missing is the automatic adjustment for example for
> my time zone which is in winter times -8 and in summer times -7. I just
> made a global search and replace in my pom.xml but actually it would be
> more convenient maven could do that for me.
> Is there anything that helps me solving the problem or is this worth an
> enhancement request?
