Just a stupid suggestion:
Wouldn't it be much easier to either
1) Setup the local clock on snapshots generating server to french time
and have that server says that is "utc" time? That's a quick and dirty,
but it's not like you would have to change
or
3) Have people look, when they explore snapshot repository using their
web browser, at the "time" column that appear next to file list, which
is expressed in server local time afaik.
or even better
2) Take 10 minute to teach your team members what UTC mean (substract
one hour from local time in winter, 2 hours in summer)? It's not like it
is difficult calculation to know utc time.
I work with a belgian time, we are all in same building, so, i think, we
are in same timezone, and we have no difficulties to cope with UTC time
:) Heck, all our company servers anyway speaks only utc ^^. And on linux
stations, the simple "date" commands tells me the UTC shift am at:
$ date
mercredi 19 mars 2008, 08:30:38 (UTC+0100)

En l'instant précis du 18/03/08 17:04, MATHUS Baptiste s'exprimait en
ces termes:
My company is french, we sell to frenchies and have almost no chance to ever sell to another country ;).
In fact, we work in the healthcare area and there's lots and lots of administrative rules that even make it difficult to follow only for the french market :-).
So, I'll hack the code and propose a patch with some additional parameter to
tune this behaviour, hoping it finds a way into the trunk one day.
Cheers.

Objet : Re: Convert SNAPSHOT timestamps from utc to local time
Not that I'm aware of, at least, not today. If you really must have this
feature, you could add a configuration and hack the code, but as with any
user-provided patch, there's no guarantee it would be accepted into the core if
you contributed it via Jira.
Maven uses UTC on purpose so that timestamps are gloabally unique and
incrementing. Then when I'm working in CA and the rest of my team is in NJ, and
we're both deploying to the same corporate repo, my 11am
(PT) builds are properly considered newer than your 1pm (ET) builds.
If you're all in the same timezone, this seems like less of a problem, but how
common is that in today's corporate climate? I know my small team of 5 people
is in 3 timezones.

Hi all,
We're having a small problem with deployment: UTC is being used for
replacing SNAPSHOT with timestamp.
For us, UTC is one hour behind local time. In some days, it will be 2
hours.
It's a bit annoying because people are sometimes wondering which
snapshot is corresponding to their commit.
We'd prefer being able to deploy using local time (at the moment, for
example utc is something like 11h47, and our local time is 12h47).
I looked at the code and found that the code is in the
org.apache.maven.artifact.transform.SnapshotTransformation class.
Is there a way to define some global variable (used by the timezone or
something like that) to shift generated timestamps?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.
