+/**
+ * <code>ZoneInfo</code> is an implementation subclass of {@link
+ * java.util.TimeZone TimeZone} that represents GMT offsets and
+ * daylight saving time transitions of a time zone.
+ * <p>
+ * The daylight saving time transitions are described in the {@link
+ * #transitions transitions} table consisting of a chronological
+ * sequence of transitions of GMT offset and/or daylight saving time
+ * changes. Since all transitions are represented in UTC, in theory,
+ * <code>ZoneInfo</code> can be used with any calendar systems except
+ * for the {@link #getOffset(int,int,int,int,int,int) getOffset}
+ * method that takes Gregorian calendar date fields.
+ * <p>
+ * This table covers transitions from 1900 until 2037 (as of version
+ * 1.4), Before 1900, it assumes that there was no daylight saving
+ * time and the <code>getOffset</code> methods always return the
+ * {@link #getRawOffset} value. No Local Mean Time is supported. If a
+ * specified date is beyond the transition table and this time zone is
+ * supposed to observe daylight saving time in 2037, it delegates
+ * operations to a {@link java.util.SimpleTimeZone SimpleTimeZone}
+ * object created using the daylight saving time schedule as of 2037.
+ * <p>
+ * The date items, transitions, GMT offset(s), etc. are read from a database
+ * file. See {@link ZoneInfoFile} for details.
+ * @see java.util.SimpleTimeZone
+ * @since 1.4
