Issue with time zone in ANT

[ms harsha <vi...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I am adding some entry in the properties file regarding the date and
 time.

<entry key="build.date.detailed" value="now" type="date"
 pattern="MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss z"/>

When i execute this above line in my laptop its showing

04/14/2008:11:31:21 IST

But in my desktop it shows

04/14/2008:11:31:21 GMT+5:30

I want both machine to print IST what i need to do please help.

Regards,
Harsha

This looks like a JVM issue, not Ant itself. We just print what the JVM 
gives us. Maybe the desktop doesnt have its locale set up right.

What does ant -diagnostics say? Mine says

-------------------------------------------
  Locale information
-------------------------------------------
Timezone Greenwich Mean Time offset=3600000

-which is wrong as once summertime kicks in, I am no longer in 
GMT...again the JVM is blurring things here.
