http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/TimeZone.html#getAvailableIDs(int)

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
public static String[] getAvailableIDs(int rawOffset)

In the Timezone class javadoc at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/TimeZone.html#getAvailableIDs(int), the method getAvailableIDs(int rawOffset)
does not explain that the rawOffset argument must be in the form of milliseconds, which I think it must be.

For example:
String[] ids = TimeZone.getAvailableIDs(-8 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
