Add system property for UTC timestamps. - #295
Merged

Conversation
In previous releases where JAX-B was used for timestamp deserialization, all timestamps that occurred in the default region were placed in a timezone with an ID of "GMT+00:00". In many cases, it may be desirable to use UTC as the default value instead. This commit adds a new system property that can be enabled so that deserialized timestamps will result in Calendar objects with a timezone corresponding to UTC. This also updates existing customizable properties to use Java system properties as well, without changing their default value. Reviewer: vyhhuang Reviewer: dougbulkley JiraIssue: DS-51419
