Why reimplement TimeZone?

The JDK TimeZone class varies in the support it can provide from one JDK release to another. The rules for determining Daylight Saving Time also change frequently. The Joda solution uses the international standard format for time zone rule data, and allows it to be updated independently of the timing of JDK releases. With perhaps 8 releases of the time zone rules per year this can be quite significant.
