title: TZ Var to Java TimeZone?
body: <p>I need to convert from the Unix TZ environment variable of the form:</p>
  
  <pre><code>stdoffset[dst[offset][,start[/time],end[/time]]]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>into a Java TimeZone object. </p>
  
  <p>For example, convert <code>AEST-10AEDT-11,M10.1.0/02:00:00,M4.1.0/03:00:00</code> 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?</p>
