Description

When compiling I get a test case failure in the MarshallerTest.java - this seems to be due to some kind of timezone interpretation issue. I think the problem is with the testcase and not Jax itself. If I'm reading the code correctly a Date is retrieved from a Calendar object with the timezone set to GMT, subsequently this is retrieved and output with a custom Format class using SimpleDateFormat. I think the Date stores UTC and the SimpleDateFormat outputs to the system timezone (although I didn't check this not being clued up on where I could find the xml string output). The attached patch (assuming I can attach a patch in a moment) fixes this against SVN and allows the test case to pass on my system.
