Robert Kanter commented on OOZIE-887:
-------------------------------------
The Timezone IDs (what Java cares about) are actually what's in the
parenthesis; the other part is actually the short display name for that ID.
For example, in "EET (Egypt)", Egypt is the actual timezone and EET is just a
display name. So, to use that timezone, you would actually pass Egypt to
oozie, not EET. However, if you do pass it EET, it will still work because EET
is also a timezone ID (right above Egypt in the list). Apparently, some places
can have different timezone rules (e.g. DST) even if they are in the same time
zone; that's why it gets broken down so much (e.g. maybe Egypt observes DST but
Athens doesn't even though they are both on EET). We could simplify it by only
including the timezones where the ID and short name are the same (i.e. EET,
EST, PST, etc); this would also shorten the list.

> Add the ability to choose a different timezone (e.g. PST) in the Oozie web UI
