(tz) Pluggable/customizable time zones

Name: nl37777 Date: 08/10/2004

Java does not have pluggable or customizable support for
time zones. They include preset dates and times, for example, for
daylight savings times of countries like Brazil and Israel. However,
such countries change the manner in which they determine daylight
savings time each year. Java’s current time zone system is not flexible
enough to allow changes to be made for certain time zones and is
causing date and time errors for some of our customers.
