UTC and the JVM

Okay, I'm getting a little kookie here.

I have a system value, QUTCOFFSET.  If I do NOT set this to -06:00, any
updates to the IFS look a little bizarre in Windows Explorer - in fact,
any files in the IFS look as if they were updated six hours previously.

If I DO change my QUTCOFFSET, the times are fine in the IFS, but now my
JVM consistently shows times as being six hours previous (this is
actually very weird - if anything, I'd expect them to be six hours
LATER).

I assume it's because I'm getting the time in my Java program
incorrectly; how does one get the time in a JVM when the UTC offset is
set?
