    Description

      The Sri Lanka Time zone is being calculated incorrectly as of JDK 1.5.0_14. (Was correct in 1.5.0_13)

      Test Case :
      import java.util.*;

      public class SriLanka {
          static public void main(String[] args) {
              final String id = "Asia/Colombo";

              System.out.println(" time zone ID: " + id);
              System.out.println("expected results: Sri Lanka Time");
              System.out.println(" actual results: " +
                  TimeZone.getTimeZone(id).getDisplayName(Locale.US));
          }
      }

      Result with 1.5.0_13 :
      jdk1.5.0_13/bin/java SriLanka
          time zone ID: Asia/Colombo
      expected results: Sri Lanka Time
        actual results: Sri Lanka Time


      Result with 1.5.0_14 :
      jdk1.5.0_14/bin/java SriLanka
          time zone ID: Asia/Colombo
      expected results: Sri Lanka Time
        actual results: India Standard Time

      Sri Lanka returns "India Standard Time" when it should actually return "Sri Lanka Time"

      The change between 150_13 and _14 which caused this is in DateFormatZoneData.java:

         485 < {"Asia/Colombo", new String[] {"Sri Lanka Time", "LKT",
         486 < "Sri Lanka Summer Time", "LKST"}},
         487 > {"Asia/Colombo", IST},
