My local pc timezone is EDT, (-5 with dst)
My crontrigger timezone is suppoed to be pacific time pdt (-8 with dst).

When I do this simple setup that worked with 1.5.1,

CronTrigger trigger = new CronTrigger();
trigger.setName(.....);
trigger.setGroup(Scheduler.DEFAULT_GROUP);
trigger.setTimeZone(tz);
trigger.setCronExpression(expression);


The crontrigger.setCronExpression() is setting the expression timezone to itself (edt, not pdt)
see CronTrigger line 444

line 444:
    public void setCronExpression(String cronExpression) throws ParseException {
        this.cronEx = new CronExpression(cronExpression);
        this.cronEx.setTimeZone(getTimeZone()); ////////// the bug is here
    }

line 562:
    public TimeZone getTimeZone() {
       
        if(cronEx != null) {
            return cronEx.getTimeZone();
        }
        
        if (timeZone == null) {
            timeZone = TimeZone.getDefault();
        }
        return timeZone;
    }
