            Description

            You are calling the method "TimeZone.getTimeZone" with argument "UTC" to obtain the "GMT" timezone . According to the documentation, you should be calling this method with argument "GMT", instead. The call TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC") is working because it has fallback logic that defaults to "GMT" when the requested timezone (in this case, "UTC") is not found. As far as I can tell, the following QuickFIX/J files are affected by this issue:

            DateField.java
            JdbcStore.java
            SessionSchedule.java
            SystemTime.java
            FieldConvertersTest.java
            SessionScheduleTest.java
            AbstractDateTimeConverter.java
