Why is my eclipse [in vista] showing the wrong file change timestamp?
When I right click on a recently changed file (like a jar generated by Java Builder) and look at the file properties, the change timestamp is always off by 2.5 hours. On the other hand, Windows Explorer shows the correct timestamp.
I suspect their some timezone setting in eclipse is used somewhere to translate filesystem time.
I am running Ganymede on Vista with Sun JDK 1.6

Since Eclipse supports jar signing , it is possible that it displays the timestamp stored in the signature as opposed to what is associated with the file. It is possible that this timestamp is calculated based on GMT and not in a local base.
Starting with J2SE 5.0, jarsigner can generate signatures that include a timestamp, which allows systems / deployments (including Java Plug-in) to check if a JAR file has been signed while the signing certificate is still valid.
Does your bank subscribe? What does the linked MANIFESTO refer to? Is 2.5h consistent with the time offset between GMT and your zone?
