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