Java in a Nutshell, 5th Edition

Name

SimpleTimeZone

Synopsis

This concrete subclass of TimeZone is a simple implementation of that abstract class that is suitable for use in locales that use the Gregorian calendar. Programs do not normally need to instantiate this class directly; instead, they use one of the static factory methods of TimeZone to obtain a suitable TimeZone subclass. The only reason to instantiate this class directly is if you need to support a time zone with nonstandard daylight-savings-time rules. In that case, you can call setStartRule( ) and setEndRule( ) to specify the starting and ending dates of daylight-savings time for the time zone.
