I need to convert from the Unix TZ variable of the form: stdoffset[dst[offset][,start[/time],end[/time]]]
into a Java TimeZone object.
For example, convert AEST-10AEDT-11,M10.1.0/02:00:00,M4.1.0/03:00:00
into a Java TimeZone object that represents "Australia\Sydney". Before I go and write the code myself I'd like to know I'm not inventing the wheel again, so does anyone know if there's a library already available that can do this?
Cheers, Matt
