getTimeZone

@Deprecated
public static TimeZone getTimeZone(Date self)

Deprecated.

Retrieves the default TimeZone for a date by using the default Locale settings. Recommended that you use TimeZone.getDefault() instead.

Parameters:

self - a Date

Returns:

the TimeZone

getDaylightSavingsOffset

public static Duration getDaylightSavingsOffset(Date self)

Get the DST offset (if any) for the default locale and the given date.

Parameters:

self - a Date

Returns:

the DST offset as a Duration.

getDaylightSavingsOffset

public static Duration getDaylightSavingsOffset(BaseDuration self)

getRelativeDaylightSavingsOffset

public static Duration getRelativeDaylightSavingsOffset(Date self,
                                        Date other)

Return a Duration representing the DST difference (if any) between two dates. i.e. if one date is before the DST changeover, and the other date is after, the resulting duration will represent the DST offset.

Parameters:

a Duration

minus
