The initial setting in jspwiki.properties was indeed based on the time-zone ID.
I changed it because the internals of jspwiki were using milliseconds;
the property was not handled correctly.

I agree it would be better to use timezone id's instead, also for the
internal implementation. This shouldn't be hard to fix.

Could you log a JIRA issue for this ?
