             Summary: ${maven.build.timestamp} should use UTC instead of local timezone (or be configurable)
                 Key: MNG-5452
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5452
             Project: Maven 2 & 3
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Inheritance and Interpolation
    Affects Versions: 3.0.4
            Reporter: Robin Stocker
            Priority: Minor


The {{maven.build.timestamp}} property currently uses the default local timezone. This can lead to problems when this is used in a build, as the output is dependent on the local timezone.

It would be nice if it defaulted to UTC, or if it could be configured (maybe similar to {{maven.build.timestamp.format}}.
