* This class manages the configuration of time-zone rules. * The static methods provide the public API that can be used to manage the providers. * The abstract methods provide the SPI that allows rules to be provided. *
* Rules are looked up primarily by zone ID, as used by {@link ZoneId}. * Only zone region IDs may be used, zone offset IDs are not used here. *
* Time-zone rules are political, thus the data can change at any time. * Each provider will provide the latest rules for each zone ID, but they * may also provide the history of how the rules changed. * *
* Providers must ensure that once a rule has been seen by the application, the * rule must continue to be available. *
* Many systems would like to update time-zone rules dynamically without stopping the JVM.
* When examined in detail, this is a complex problem.
* Providers may choose to handle dynamic updates, however the default provider does not.
