Emmanuel, the Date class does not imply any time zone semantics at all. It stores a point in time in an abstract way. It took Sun a little while to figure that out. This is why all methods in Date that implicitly imply a time zone have been deprecated years ago. The getTime and setTime methods convert this abstract representation to a millisecond value based on GMT. Adding a GMT time-offset to this value is therefore complete nonsense and a beginner's mistake at best.
