The code that formats the time is here:

String startTimeString =
org.apache.manifoldcf.ui.util.Formatter.formatTime(Converter.asLong(row.getValue("starttime")));
<<<<<<
This explicitly uses UTC as the timezone:
>>>>>>
/** Format a long as an understandable date.
*@param time is the long.
*@return the date, as a human-readable string. This date will be in
local time.
*/
public static String formatTime(long time)
{
Calendar c = new GregorianCalendar(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"),
Locale.ROOT);
c.setTimeInMillis(time);
// We want to format this string in a compact way:
// mm-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ss.mmm
StringBuilder returnString = new StringBuilder();
writechars(returnString,c.get(Calendar.MONTH)+1,2);
returnString.append("-");
writechars(returnString,c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH),2);
returnString.append("-");
writechars(returnString,c.get(Calendar.YEAR),4);
returnString.append(" ");
writechars(returnString,c.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY),2);
returnString.append(":");
writechars(returnString,c.get(Calendar.MINUTE),2);
returnString.append(":");
writechars(returnString,c.get(Calendar.SECOND),2);
returnString.append(".");
writechars(returnString,c.get(Calendar.MILLISECOND),3);
return returnString.toString();

As you see, formerly the timezone was local time. The change required an
explicit timezone in order to pass the forbidden APIs test, and UTC was
used.
I am happy to try to change this since it's been this way only since 2016,
if I can find a way that will not break forbiddenAPIs.
