48  *
49  * <code>TimeZone</code> represents a time zone offset, and also figures out daylight
50  * savings.
51  *
52  * <p>
53  * Typically, you get a <code>TimeZone</code> using <code>createDefault</code>
54  * which creates a <code>TimeZone</code> based on the time zone where the program
55  * is running. For example, for a program running in Japan, <code>createDefault</code>
56  * creates a <code>TimeZone</code> object based on Japanese Standard Time.
57  *
58  * <p>
59  * You can also get a <code>TimeZone</code> using <code>createTimeZone</code> along
60  * with a time zone ID. For instance, the time zone ID for the Pacific
61  * Standard Time zone is "PST". So, you can get a PST <code>TimeZone</code> object
62  * with:
63  * \htmlonly<blockquote>\endhtmlonly
64  * <pre>
65  * TimeZone *tz = TimeZone::createTimeZone("PST");
66  * </pre>
67  * \htmlonly</blockquote>\endhtmlonly
68  * You can use <code>getAvailableIDs</code> method to iterate through
69  * all the supported time zone IDs. You can then choose a
70  * supported ID to get a <code>TimeZone</code>.
71  * If the time zone you want is not represented by one of the
72  * supported IDs, then you can create a custom time zone ID with
73  * the following syntax:
74  *
75  * \htmlonly<blockquote>\endhtmlonly
76  * <pre>
77  * GMT[+|-]hh[[:]mm]
78  * </pre>
79  * \htmlonly</blockquote>\endhtmlonly
80  *
81  * For example, you might specify GMT+14:00 as a custom
82  * time zone ID.  The <code>TimeZone</code> that is returned
83  * when you specify a custom time zone ID does not include
84  * daylight savings time.
85  *
86  * TimeZone is an abstract class representing a time zone.  A TimeZone is needed for
87  * Calendar to produce local time for a particular time zone.  A TimeZone comprises
88  * three basic pieces of information:
89  * <ul>
90  *    <li>A time zone offset; that, is the number of milliseconds to add or subtract
91  *      from a time expressed in terms of GMT to convert it to the same time in that
92  *      time zone (without taking daylight savings time into account).</li>
93  *    <li>Logic necessary to take daylight savings time into account if daylight savings
94  *      time is observed in that time zone (e.g., the days and hours on which daylight
95  *      savings time begins and ends).</li>
96  *    <li>An ID.  This is a text string that uniquely identifies the time zone.</li>
97  * </ul>
98  *
99  * (Only the ID is actually implemented in TimeZone; subclasses of TimeZone may handle
100  * daylight savings time and GMT offset in different ways.  Currently we only have one
101  * TimeZone subclass: SimpleTimeZone.)
102  * <P>
103  * The TimeZone class contains a static list containing a TimeZone object for every
104  * combination of GMT offset and daylight-savings time rules currently in use in the
105  * world, each with a unique ID.  Each ID consists of a region (usually a continent or
106  * ocean) and a city in that region, separated by a slash, (for example, Pacific
107  * Standard Time is "America/Los_Angeles.")  Because older versions of this class used
108  * three- or four-letter abbreviations instead, there is also a table that maps the older
109  * abbreviations to the newer ones (for example, "PST" maps to "America/LosAngeles").
110  * Anywhere the API requires an ID, you can use either form.
111  * <P>
112  * To create a new TimeZone, you call the factory function TimeZone::createTimeZone()
113  * and pass it a time zone ID.  You can use the createEnumeration() function to
114  * obtain a list of all the time zone IDs recognized by createTimeZone().
115  * <P>
116  * You can also use TimeZone::createDefault() to create a TimeZone.  This function uses
117  * platform-specific APIs to produce a TimeZone for the time zone corresponding to
118  * the client's computer's physical location.  For example, if you're in Japan (assuming
119  * your machine is set up correctly), TimeZone::createDefault() will return a TimeZone
120  * for Japanese Standard Time ("Asia/Tokyo").
