I think the long names of the Australia time zones should be revisited
to be consistent with the abbreviation changes. The new abbreviations
follow the S[tandard] and D[aylight saving] convention rather than the
S[tandard] and S[ummer time] one. The long names, such as "Eastern
Summer Time (Queensland)", no longer make sense.
On the other hand, you will need to access impact of the name changes,
including abbreviations. Also, if you change the long names, their
translations will need to be changed as well.

Hi,
Please, review the tzdata2014f integration (with tzdata2014e related
changes included too) [1] fix to JDK9:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~aefimov/8049343/9/webrev.01/
The tzdata2014f changes are extensive and relates mostly to timezone
short names changes + "Asia/Srednekolymsk" time zone were added.
Almost complete list of changes can be found in the JBS bug
description [1], plus some changes wasn't documented in tzdata release
notes - for such cases raw tzdata diff was used for the names
modifications.
Two issues with JSR310 implementation were discovered during
integration process:
First issue is related to the internal representation of the '24:00'
value. The JSR310 implementation treats this value as a next day 00:00
time. The workaround already exists in JSR310 code for similar entries
and this failure is resolved in similar way [2] as part of this update.
For the second issue JDK-8051641 [3] was filled and
'sun/util/calendar/zi/TestZoneInfo310.java' test is the only one that
fails with this tzdata.
Other time zone related tests [4] passes without failures.
Thank you,
Aleksej
