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: http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2006/jw-1201-dst.html)

> It would be great if the timezone element in Maven 2 could be extendend in a way that makes it able to determine the offset own its own as well as to be able to make adjustments to daylight savings.
> The following suggestion from the Maven Users mailing list seems to be an interesting approach. Note: In addition to the posting from Ian Stewart I would like to add that I believe that the offset element is not needed in case the timezone has a name and the dayligh savings element.

> Instead of changing everybody's timezone twice a year, I would recommend

> 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?
> Andreas
