System.getCurrentTimeMillis() is defined to return UTC (GMT). How you
obtain local time depends on which version of the JDK you are coding to.
For 1.0 you use the Date object. For 1.1 you make use of the Date,
Calendar and DateFormat objects/classes.

I don't know why you are getting GMT+1, but I suspect either a bug or a
misconfiguration of your local hardware (probably having to do with
"Daylight Savings Time" or "Summertime".
