     51  *
     52  * <code>TimeZone</code> represents a time zone offset, and also figures out daylight
     53  * savings.
     54  *
     55  * <p>
     56  * Typically, you get a <code>TimeZone</code> using <code>createDefault</code>
     57  * which creates a <code>TimeZone</code> based on the time zone where the program
     58  * is running. For example, for a program running in Japan, <code>createDefault</code>
     59  * creates a <code>TimeZone</code> object based on Japanese Standard Time.
     60  *
     61  * <p>
     62  * You can also get a <code>TimeZone</code> using <code>createTimeZone</code> along
     63  * with a time zone ID. For instance, the time zone ID for the US Pacific
     64  * Time zone is "America/Los_Angeles". So, you can get a Pacific Time <code>TimeZone</code> object
     65  * with:
     66  * \htmlonly<blockquote>\endhtmlonly
     67  * <pre>
     68  * TimeZone *tz = TimeZone::createTimeZone("America/Los_Angeles");
     69  * </pre>
     70  * \htmlonly</blockquote>\endhtmlonly
     71  * You can use the <code>createEnumeration</code> method to iterate through
     72  * all the supported time zone IDs, or the <code>getCanonicalID</code> method to check
     73  * if a time zone ID is supported or not.  You can then choose a
     74  * supported ID to get a <code>TimeZone</code>.
     75  * If the time zone you want is not represented by one of the
     76  * supported IDs, then you can create a custom time zone ID with
     77  * the following syntax:
     78  *
     79  * \htmlonly<blockquote>\endhtmlonly
     80  * <pre>
     81  * GMT[+|-]hh[[:]mm]
     82  * </pre>
     83  * \htmlonly</blockquote>\endhtmlonly
     84  *
     85  * For example, you might specify GMT+14:00 as a custom
     86  * time zone ID.  The <code>TimeZone</code> that is returned
     87  * when you specify a custom time zone ID uses the specified
     88  * offset from GMT(=UTC) and does not observe daylight saving
     89  * time. For example, you might specify GMT+14:00 as a custom
     90  * time zone ID to create a TimeZone representing 14 hours ahead
     91  * of GMT (with no daylight saving time). In addition,
     92  * <code>getCanonicalID</code> can also be used to
     93  * normalize a custom time zone ID.
     94  *
     95  * TimeZone is an abstract class representing a time zone.  A TimeZone is needed for
     96  * Calendar to produce local time for a particular time zone.  A TimeZone comprises
     97  * three basic pieces of information:
     98  * <ul>
     99  *    <li>A time zone offset; that, is the number of milliseconds to add or subtract
    100  *      from a time expressed in terms of GMT to convert it to the same time in that
    101  *      time zone (without taking daylight savings time into account).</li>
    102  *    <li>Logic necessary to take daylight savings time into account if daylight savings
    103  *      time is observed in that time zone (e.g., the days and hours on which daylight
    104  *      savings time begins and ends).</li>
    105  *    <li>An ID.  This is a text string that uniquely identifies the time zone.</li>
    106  * </ul>
    107  *
    108  * (Only the ID is actually implemented in TimeZone; subclasses of TimeZone may handle
    109  * daylight savings time and GMT offset in different ways.  Currently we have the following
    110  * TimeZone subclasses: RuleBasedTimeZone, SimpleTimeZone, and VTimeZone.)
    111  * <P>
    112  * The TimeZone class contains a static list containing a TimeZone object for every
    113  * combination of GMT offset and daylight-savings time rules currently in use in the
    114  * world, each with a unique ID.  Each ID consists of a region (usually a continent or
    115  * ocean) and a city in that region, separated by a slash, (for example, US Pacific
    116  * Time is "America/Los_Angeles.")  Because older versions of this class used
    117  * three- or four-letter abbreviations instead, there is also a table that maps the older
    118  * abbreviations to the newer ones (for example, "PST" maps to "America/Los_Angeles").
    119  * Anywhere the API requires an ID, you can use either form.
    120  * <P>
    121  * To create a new TimeZone, you call the factory function TimeZone::createTimeZone()
    122  * and pass it a time zone ID.  You can use the createEnumeration() function to
    123  * obtain a list of all the time zone IDs recognized by createTimeZone().
    124  * <P>
    125  * You can also use TimeZone::createDefault() to create a TimeZone.  This function uses
    126  * platform-specific APIs to produce a TimeZone for the time zone corresponding to
    127  * the client's computer's physical location.  For example, if you're in Japan (assuming
    128  * your machine is set up correctly), TimeZone::createDefault() will return a TimeZone
    129  * for Japanese Standard Time ("Asia/Tokyo").

    696      * <p>In Java 7, <code>observesDaylightTime()</code> was added in
    697      * addition to <code>useDaylightTime()</code>. In Java, <code>useDaylightTime()</code>
    698      * only checks if daylight saving time is observed by the last known

    700      * if daylight saving time is currently observed, but not scheduled
    701      * in future. In this case, Java's <code>userDaylightTime()</code> returns
    702      * <code>false</code>. To resolve the issue, Java 7 added <code>observesDaylightTime()</code>,
    703      * which takes the current rule into account. The method <code>observesDaylightTime()</code>
    704      * was added in ICU4J for supporting API signature compatibility with JDK.

    710      * always returns a <code>BasicTimeZone</code>) provides a series of methods allowing
