Surfing on net I found this: Time zones ...
More recent (post 1.5.0) versions of openadaptor use Java TimeZone objects, so the string must be understood by that class (either GMT±hh:mm Europe/London - note that three letter abbreviations such as CST are frowned upon, as there are no standards and many ambiguities - is that US Central Standard Time or China Standard Time?). If the timezone is not recognised, then the JVM local timezone is assumed. or descriptive: This text is located at the bottom of [1]. Relying on this text, should SDO use time zone abbreviations instead of GMT +-HH:mm format?
