title: Joda Time gives wrong time zone
body: <p>I'm using the <a href="http://www.joda.org/joda-time/" rel="noreferrer">Joda time</a> (1.6) libraries and it keeps returning DateTime objects with the wrong time zone, British Summer Time instead of GMT.</p>
  
  <p>My Windows workstation (running JDK 1.6.0_16) thinks it's in GMT and if I get the default time zone from the JDK date/time classes it is correct (GMT). I get the same behaviour on our Linux servers as well. I thought it could be an error in the time zone database files in Joda so I rebuilt the jar with the latest database but with no change. </p>
  
  <pre><code>import java.util.TimeZone;
  import org.joda.time.DateTime;
  import org.joda.time.DateTimeZone;
  import org.joda.time.LocalTime;
  import org.joda.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;
  import org.joda.time.format.ISODateTimeFormat;
  
  public class TimeZoneTest {
  
      public static void main(String[] args) {                
          DateTimeFormatter timeParser = ISODateTimeFormat.timeParser();
          TimeZone timeZone = TimeZone.getDefault();
          System.out.println(timeZone.getID()); // "Europe/London"
          System.out.println(timeZone.getDisplayName()); // "Greenwich Mean Time"
  
          DateTimeZone defaultTimeZone = DateTimeZone.getDefault();
          System.out.println(defaultTimeZone.getID()); //"Europe/London"
          System.out.println(defaultTimeZone.getName(0L)); //"British Summer Time"
  
          DateTime currentTime = new DateTime();
          DateTimeZone currentZone = currentTime.getZone();
          System.out.println(currentZone.getID()); //"Europe/London"
          System.out.println(currentZone.getName(0L)); //"British Summer Time"            
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Debugging through the static initialiser in <code>org.joda.time.DateTimeZone</code> I see that the <code>System.getProperty("user.timezone")</code> call gives <code>"Europe/London"</code> as expected.</p>
