Description

Pass time zone into tests launched via maven. If you run tests via, say

mvn -Duser.timezone=Europe/Moscow test

then each of the tests instantiated by surefire in each sub-project will be run in a JVM whose default timezone is Moscow.

This helps us ensure that JDBC date-time conversions work correctly in all time zones.

A limitation is that the timezone name must not contain spaces: -Duser.timezone=America/Los_Angeles works, -Duser.timezone=America/Los Angeles does not.

You can safely ignore the warning

[WARNING] The system property user.timezone is configured twice! The property appears in <argLine/> and any of <systemPropertyVariables/>, <systemProperties/> or user property.
