Hi,

We are having strange problem with system time with Continuum in Solaris 10 environment. Easiest way to verify existence of this problem is to add following block to Ant build script and let Continuum to build/execute it.
"<exec executable="/usr/bin/date"/>"

What happens is that 'date' reports GMT time and not the correct local time. This ONLY happens when Ant is executed through Continuum. If same Ant script is executed as a standalone it reports the corret time.

This problem causes times to differ three hours in ZIP-archives that are created using Ant's ZIP target. We've tried to enable full DEBUG logs with Continuum but only thing that's visible is this: "...ShellCommandHelper - Executing: /usr/local/apache-ant-1.7.0/bin/ant -f Build/continuum-build.xml build". From that you cannot see what shell is in use or other details that might matter.

We've also added similar Ant exec calls to execute "set", "env" and "id" commands and tried to verify if e.g. TZ variable differs. But all the variables (LC_*, TZ) are same.

Any ideas how to solve this or how to find out where exactly the problem is? Our guess is that it's related to way Continuum executes Ant as a shell command.

 Otto
