OK, this is indeed a genuine bug.
Thank you John, for pointing it out.
I had tested my time adjustment (from Java to SMSQE & vice-versa) during
summer time, and it was OK (no time difference). Now even here there is
a one hour difference, the clock is one hour early (ie. it 9 am and the
SMSQE clock shows 10).
This is obviously due to the change from summer to winter time.
The computer's internal clock still has the summer time, and Java gives
me that, and not the adjusted summer/winter time.
I thought I was going to take the easy way out of this and make the time
difference a configurable value - which you'd probably have to adjust
twice a year when switching between summer/winter time. But I thought
this was something one could live with.
However, under linux at least, there is some problem with the time of
files on NFA/SFA devices: those files that were saved (even from within
Linux itself) during summer time show the right time under SMSQE - but
those that are saved now have the time difference. This is pretty
bewildering, because it would mean that the ext4 file system stores the
time + the time difference due to summer/winter time.(???).
I'll have to check that.
Wolfgang
