public static TimeZone getTimeZone(String ID)
Gets the TimeZone for the given ID.
Parameters:
ID - the ID for a TimeZone, either an abbreviation such as
"PST", a full name such as "America/Los_Angeles", or a custom
ID such as "GMT-8:00". Note that the support of abbreviations
is for JDK 1.1.x compatibility only and full names should be
used.
Returns:
the specified TimeZone, or the GMT zone if the given ID cannot
be understood.
Is this the JavaDoc you were referring to? This method returns a TimeZone
object. According to the class JavaDocs,
TimeZone represents a time zone offset, and also figures out daylight
savings.
The foolishness of American and Australian politicians not withstanding,
the observance of Summertime/Daylight Savings Time (or lack thereof) is not
just a nice-to-have. It is a core property of the TimeZone class.

Please respond to "Maven

Hi Andreas and Ian,
Again, why would anyone use a structure of three elements that is also
never correct if the daylight saving is changed in a country like it has
been done currently for Australia? The zone ID is all you need, see
javadocs to TimeZone!
