Michael Osipov commented on SUREFIRE-1512: ------------------------------------------ [~tibor17], the Unix case is fine. The long will do. I assume that etime is bound to UTC anyway, not dependend on clock changes. As for Windows, the {{String}} is incomparable and you cannot simply drop the offset and compare. You have to normalize to UTC first and then you can compare. > ProcessInfo for Windows is prone to timezone offset changes > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SUREFIRE-1512 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1512 > Project: Maven Surefire > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.21.0 > Reporter: Julian Reschke > Priority: Major > > For some reason, on one of my machines, the current DST offset changes > between calls.
