Don't we do that in several places already? 
Where do you see the issue to put that property in
standalone.sh (.conf) ?

If we run metrics inside of e.g. OpenShift. Do we have enough
control to run "our" TZ-setting? What if all other parts of OpenShift
(incl. metrics feeds) run in Boston-time - how will we deal with that?

Which templates do you mean here?

For the Hawkular-services, could we have a common 
time module, that does the right think when you do

java.util.Date now = HawkularTimeService.getNow();

instead of

java.util.Date now = new Date();
