     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, or getCanonicalID method to check
     71  * if a time zone ID is supported or not.  You can then choose a
     72  * supported ID to get a <code>TimeZone</code>.
     73  * If the time zone you want is not represented by one of the
     74  * supported IDs, then you can create a custom time zone ID with
     75  * the following syntax:
     76  *
     77  * \htmlonly<blockquote>\endhtmlonly
     78  * <pre>
     79  * GMT[+|-]hh[[:]mm]
     80  * </pre>
     81  * \htmlonly</blockquote>\endhtmlonly
     82  *
     83  * For example, you might specify GMT+14:00 as a custom
     84  * time zone ID.  The <code>TimeZone</code> that is returned
     85  * when you specify a custom time zone ID uses the specified
     86  * offset from GMT(=UTC) and does not observe daylight saving
     87  * time. For example, you might specify GMT+14:00 as a custom
     88  * time zone ID to create a TimeZone representing 14 hours ahead
     89  * of GMT (with no daylight saving time). In addition,
     90  * <code>getCanonicalID</code> can also be used to
     91  * normalize a custom time zone ID.
     92  *
     93  * TimeZone is an abstract class representing a time zone.  A TimeZone is needed for
     94  * Calendar to produce local time for a particular time zone.  A TimeZone comprises
     95  * three basic pieces of information:
     96  * <ul>
     97  *    <li>A time zone offset; that, is the number of milliseconds to add or subtract
     98  *      from a time expressed in terms of GMT to convert it to the same time in that
     99  *      time zone (without taking daylight savings time into account).</li>
    100  *    <li>Logic necessary to take daylight savings time into account if daylight savings
    101  *      time is observed in that time zone (e.g., the days and hours on which daylight
    102  *      savings time begins and ends).</li>
    103  *    <li>An ID.  This is a text string that uniquely identifies the time zone.</li>
    104  * </ul>
    105  *
    106  * (Only the ID is actually implemented in TimeZone; subclasses of TimeZone may handle
    107  * daylight savings time and GMT offset in different ways.  Currently we have the following
    108  * TimeZone subclasses: RuleBasedTimeZone, SimpleTimeZone, and VTimeZone.)
    109  * <P>
    110  * The TimeZone class contains a static list containing a TimeZone object for every
    111  * combination of GMT offset and daylight-savings time rules currently in use in the
    112  * world, each with a unique ID.  Each ID consists of a region (usually a continent or
    113  * ocean) and a city in that region, separated by a slash, (for example, US Pacific
    114  * Time is "America/Los_Angeles.")  Because older versions of this class used
    115  * three- or four-letter abbreviations instead, there is also a table that maps the older
    116  * abbreviations to the newer ones (for example, "PST" maps to "America/Los_Angeles").
    117  * Anywhere the API requires an ID, you can use either form.
    118  * <P>
    119  * To create a new TimeZone, you call the factory function TimeZone::createTimeZone()
    120  * and pass it a time zone ID.  You can use the createEnumeration() function to
    121  * obtain a list of all the time zone IDs recognized by createTimeZone().
    122  * <P>
    123  * You can also use TimeZone::createDefault() to create a TimeZone.  This function uses
    124  * platform-specific APIs to produce a TimeZone for the time zone corresponding to
    125  * the client's computer's physical location.  For example, if you're in Japan (assuming
    126  * your machine is set up correctly), TimeZone::createDefault() will return a TimeZone
    127  * for Japanese Standard Time ("Asia/Tokyo").
