I definitely can, but 1) while installing OM admin is not required to know which timezones we have in our file. 2) our current mechanism is not very user friendly i.e. if user make a mistake in timezone name - default user will have no time zone.
My idea was to search in java timezone name/id (which is much wider, has more than 30 records), and then map java timezone found with OM timezon, and get warning/error in case no tz with provided name was found. What do you think on this?
