Improve pom to handle daylight saving changes
---------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-2202
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2202
Project: Maven 2
Type: Improvement
Reporter: Andreas Guther
Priority: Minor
It would be great if the timezone element in Maven 2 could be extendend in a
way that makes it able to determine the offset own its own as well as to be
able to make adjustments to daylight savings.
The following suggestion from the Maven Users mailing list seems to be an
interesting approach. Note: In addition to the posting from Ian Stewart I
would like to add that I believe that the offset element is not needed in case
the timezone has a name and the dayligh savings element.

Note that the observation of Summertime/Daylight Savings Time does not
change the timezone where a developer resides.
Instead of changing everybody's timezone twice a year, I would recommend
making the timezone element its own complex type, more inline with the
java.util.TimeZone class:
<timezone>
<name>Eastern</name>
<offset>-5</offset>
<useDaylight>true</useDaylight>
</timezone>

Subject: TimeZone Element
in pom.xml

Please respond to

Hi,
Is there a way in Maven to adjust the TimeZone element in the pom.xml to
daylight savings time?
We have an international team and I like the fact that we can see on the
maven generated web site's team list what time it is for a specific
developer. What I am missing is the automatic adjustment for example for
my time zone which is in winter times -8 and in summer times -7. I just
made a global search and replace in my pom.xml but actually it would be
more convenient maven could do that for me.
Is there anything that helps me solving the problem or is this worth an
enhancement request?
Andreas
