Adrian Crum commented on OFBIZ-5608:
------------------------------------
>From my perspective, the assumption being made is that a date does NOT
>reference a time zone.
A date has a beginning and end. When does the day begin? It depends on which
time zone you are referring to. When does the day end? Again, it depends on
which time zone you are referring to.
"...you can see that the overridden toString and static valueOf (which doesn't
exist in java.util.Date) do not reference any timezone". That statement is
false. Take some time to trace through the constructor, and you will see that
the millisecond value is derived from a java.util.Calendar instance - which
references a time zone.
I agree the FreeMarker template issue needs to be fixed, but I don't recommend
we hack up the framework to remove all TimeZone references.
> Dates Displaying Incorrectly With Negative Offest Timezones.
