<h3 class="doc"><a name="timezone"></a>About ICU4J Time Zone</h3>
<p>ICU4J 4.0 includes time zone data version 2008c, which is the latest one as of
the release date. However, time zone data is frequently updated in response
to changes made by local governments around the world. If you need to update
the time zone data, please refer the ICU user guide topic
<a href="http://www.icu-project.org/userguide/dateTimezone.html#tzupdate">Updating the Time Zone Data</a>.</p>
<p>Starting with ICU4J 4.0, you can optionally configure ICU4J date and time
service classes to use underlying JDK TimeZone implementation (see the ICU4J API reference
<a href="http://www.icu-project.org/apiref/icu4j/com/ibm/icu/util/TimeZone.html">TimeZone</a>
for the details). When this configuration is enabled, ICU's own time zone data
won't be used and you have to get time zone data patches from the JRE vendor.</p>
