Error in ConverterUtilTest?

[Pétur Runólfsson <pe...@betware.com>]

Hi,

When I run the test suite for adb in Eclipse, I get a failure in this block (in ConverterUtilTest.testConvertToDate):

        TimeZone timeZone = TimeZone.getTimeZone("Australia/Perth");
        Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance(timeZone);
        c.clear();
        c.set(2008, Calendar.JANUARY, 1);
        TestCase.assertTrue(ConverterUtil.convertToString(c).endsWith("+08:00"));

The result I get from convertToString is 2008-01-01T00:00:00.000+09:00. According to this page:

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/timezone.html?n=196

DST was in effect in Perth on January 1, 2008, so the correct offset is indeed +09:00.

Related to this, the pom.xml contains the following line:

<exclude>**/*Util*.java</exclude>

This seems to prevent this test from ever being run during the build. ConverterUtilTest.java seems to be the only file matching this pattern. Is this intentional?

The attached patch removes the exclusion and fixes the time zone offset. It also moves the offending block into it's own test method, as it is not testing convertToDate.
