[jbosstools-dev] Fwd: [tycho-user] UTC timestamps for Tycho ?

[Max Rydahl Andersen]

https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-9007 - the issue about hudson timestamps being "ahead" of Concord

This turns out to actually be a bug in Tycho.

Now fixed.

https://github.com/sonatype/sonatype-tycho/commit/e2eabb2d243e415d2c4a786e354c8cab2783a28e

Needs move to tycho 0.14 to fix though…
