Description

I am using the maven-aether-provider in my software and have an issue when Thailand users are publishing their snapshot versions get the Buddhist calendar year (offset of 543 years).

I have located the problem to be in the RemoteSnapShotMetaData class:

RemoteSnapShotMetaData.java

            DateFormat utcDateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat( "yyyyMMdd.HHmmss" );
            utcDateFormatter.setTimeZone( TimeZone.getTimeZone( "UTC" ) );

            snapshot = new Snapshot();
            snapshot.setBuildNumber( getBuildNumber( recessive ) + 1 );
            snapshot.setTimestamp( utcDateFormatter.format( new Date() ) );

The fix should be to explicitly set the calendar to be Gregorian:

RemoteSnapShotMetaData.java

            DateFormat utcDateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat( "yyyyMMdd.HHmmss" );
            utcDateFormatter.setTimeZone( TimeZone.getTimeZone( "UTC" ) );
            utcDateFormatter.setCalendar(new GregorianCalendar());

            snapshot = new Snapshot();
            snapshot.setBuildNumber( getBuildNumber( recessive ) + 1 );
            snapshot.setTimestamp( utcDateFormatter.format( new Date() ) );
