lucene date issue

When indexing with Lucene (Hibernate Search), you may notice difference between dates in the database and indexed values. For example, in my case, Lucene dates were a day before the dates in the database. This is due to timezone differences. In the following annotation, org.hibernate.search.annotations.DateBridge assumes GMT time..

 @Column(name = "CREATED")  
 @Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)  
 @DateBridge(resolution = Resolution.DAY)  
 private Date created;  

My solution was to write a custom field bridge named ESTDateBridge by copying the original DateBridge code and changing the default timezone from GMT to "America/New_York" (writing EST did not work..)
The working annotation is as follows:

 @Column(name = "CREATED")  
 @Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)  
 @FieldBridge(impl = ESTDateBridge.class)  
 private Date created;
