I may have missed the context for this?
Do you want the last build date to show the correct timestamp regardless of
time zone?
This _should_ work with maven.xdoc.date.format=dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss z
(The js works as in the examples below, I didn't test/modify my jsl though)
Such as..
<j:if test="${date == 'navigation-bottom'}">
<div id="lastPublished">Last published:
+ <script lang="javscript">
+ document.write(new Date(Date.parse(${build.date})).toLocaleString())
+ </script>
</div>
</j:if>
+--------------------------+
Examples to drop in browser:
+--------------------------+
gmtTimeMs = 1084577575203;
alert((new Date(gmtTimeMs).toLocaleString()));
gmtTimeMs = Date.parse("14 May 2004 19:32:55 EST")
alert((new Date(gmtTimeMs).toLocaleString()));
gmtTimeMs = Date.parse("14 May 2004 19:32:55 EDT")
alert((new Date(gmtTimeMs).toLocaleString()));
+--------------------------+
Hope it helps (sorry if I missed the point)
