In order to load the custom class loader, the runtime must verify the signed JAR first, and the algorithm constraint code tries to load a `Locale` provider using a `ServiceLoader` before the class loader is set, and this causes a `ServiceConfigurationError`.

Instead the `ZonedDateTime` API is now used, which simplifies the code and removes some unnecessary code from `keytool` as well.

Hello Sean,
Looking at the `SecurityTools.keytool` and `SecurityTools.jarsigner` methods, they internally launch a process corresponding to these tools but do not check for the exit code of that process execution. Perhaps the calls to these methods in this test, should add a check to assert that the exit code is `0` by using the returned `OutputAnalyzer`?
