Cannot select TimeZone - JVM returns differently formatted timezone
Symptoms
- Once logged in the Admin dashboard displays an error
- Going to General Configuration in Admin the main timezone regions appear but the timezone dropdown list is not populated.
The following appears in the atlassian-jira.log:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The datetime zone id is not recognised: GMT+10:00

Diagnosis
For example, Java returns GMT +10:00 instead of "Australia/Brisbane"
C:\JIRA\test>java ShowTimeZone
java.util.TimeZone.getDefault().getID() is 'GMT+10:00'Cause
Possible issue with the windows implementation with JVM.
Resolution
Modify the timezone as per our Set the timezone for the Java environment KB article, for example -Duser.timezone=Australia/Brisbane.
