Daniel Watford commented on OFBIZ-12731:
----------------------------------------

If we wait until java.time.ZoneId is available in the context this issue can be 
solved by calling ZoneId#getDisplayName. However it doesn't appear that 
ZoneId#getDisplayName allows for a daylight savings variant of a zone display 
name to be produced.

> Time zones always displayed using their daylight savings display name

>             Project: OFBiz
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: themes/helveticus, themes/rainbow
>    Affects Versions: 18.12.06, 22.01.01
>            Reporter: Daniel Watford
>            Priority: Minor
>
> The timestamp displayed in the ofbiz footer will use the daylight savings 
> display name variant, even when the current date is outside of the daylight 
> savings period.
> See footer of [OFBiz: Katalogverwaltung: 
> (apache.org).|https://demo-stable.ofbiz.apache.org/catalog/control/setSessionTimeZone?tzId=Europe/London]
> At time of writing this description we are in December. Daylight savings will 
> not begin until March, but the timezone description is reported as British 
> Summer Time.
> Similarly, on the ListTimezones page, 
> [https://demo-stable.ofbiz.apache.org/catalog/control/ListTimezones,|https://demo-stable.ofbiz.apache.org/catalog/control/ListTimezones]
>  we see that the 'Europe/London' timezone is also named as British Summer 
> Time.
> The incorrect display of timezone names when outside of a daylight savings 
> period is due to 
> themes/[rainbowstone|flatgrey|helveticus]/template/<includes/>Footer.ftl and 
> themes/common-theme/template/includes/ListTimezones.ftl.
> In these FTL file, there is a call to TimeZone#getDisplayName, passing a 
> boolean to indicate whether the timezone name should refer to daylight 
> savings. A true value is passed if the timezone is currently in a daylight 
> savings period or will transition to daylight savings in future.
> The logic should be changed to test the current time to see if daylight 
> savings is in effect and alter the call to TimeZone#getDisplayName 
> accordingly.
