…imezone offsets The compatibilityOfLegacyPattern test fails in environments where the system default timezone has a non-zero minute offset (e.g., Asia/Kolkata, Asia/Kathmandu). Root cause: - SimpleDateFormat's X pattern truncates fractional offsets (e.g., +05:30 → +05). - DateTimeFormatter's X pattern preserves the minutes (+05:30). Since Log4j intentionally follows DateTimeFormatter’s behavior, the test should not assert equivalence in such environments. This change adds an assumption to skip the test when the system timezone offset is not a whole hour. This ensures deterministic builds for contributors in all regions, while still verifying correctness in whole-hour zones. Closes apache#3805

Hi @ramanathan1504,
Could you move the assumption to the beginning of the test, so it is easier to follow?

…ault zone Ensure legacy and modern formatting produce consistent results when the system default zone offset is a whole hour. Skip the test otherwise using assumptions.

The compatibilityOfLegacyPattern test fails in timezones with fractional offsets
(e.g., Asia/Kolkata). This happens because SimpleDateFormat truncates fractional
offsets (+05:30 → +05) while DateTimeFormatter preserves them.
This change skips the test in such environments, ensuring consistent builds.
