    Problem with Date field if it was created with default value "Today"
    In Tuleap if a date field was created with a Default value of "Today", when an artifact is submitted in the connector, it decrements by one day the value of the date.

    It was a bit difficult to find out the source of problem on this issue but I think that I have found it. The time returned by Tuleap (on https://tuleap.net) is a timestamp using the timezone GMT, on my computer, Java is using CEST (Central European Summer Time, http://www.timeanddate.com/library/abbreviations/timezones/eu/cest.html) which is technically correct. As a result, the time that I was manipulating on my computer was, for example, "Mon Sep 30 00:00:00 CEST 2013" and the timestamp that I was submitting was believed by Tuleap to be "Sun Sep 29 22:00:00 GMT 2013" since there is a gap of two hours between those two time zones.

    We need to convert the time selected to the time zone used by Tuleap before submission. We need to know the timezone used by the Tuleap instance to which we are connected first. I'll talk with Enalean to see how we can proceed on this issue.

    @devs: check the value converted in the TuleapArtifact and check what is sent in TuleapSoapConnector#updateArtifact(...).

    Additional testing shows that even if the field was created with no default value, the value is still decremented by one day.
