java设置时区,Java在运行时设置时区

I am working on a desktop application. It would get input as a text file from user having contents like this :

..................................

..................................

Mon Jul 9 14:41:07 MDT 2012

I am using this information and creating a timeseries chart using jfreechart library. Timezone could be anything available in the world. But when I use this file its default timezone is sytem's timezone(IST) so doesn't show MDT time. When I tried to capture timezone from date and then used

TimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone.getTimeZone("MDT"));

It didn't work. How can I change the default timezone in Java when I am having abbreviation for timezone like MDT, CDT etc?

Thanks Guys. Thanks for quick responses. @vikas your response proves to be more useful. I am using following code and it worked well.

String timezoneLongName = "";

String fileTimeZone = "MDT"; //timezone could be anything, getting from file.

Date date = new Date();

String TimeZoneIds[] = TimeZone.getAvailableIDs();

for (int i = 0; i < TimeZoneIds.length; i++) {

TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone(TimeZoneIds[i]);

String tzName = tz.getDisplayName(tz.inDaylightTime(date),TimeZone.SHORT);

if(fileTimeZone.equals(tzName)){

timezoneLongName = TimeZoneIds[i];

break;

}

}

if(timezoneLongName != null && !timezoneLongName.isEmpty() && !timezoneLongName.trim().isEmpty() && timezoneLongName.length() != 0){

TimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone.getTimeZone(timezoneLongName));

}

Although there are more than one entries for "MDT" timezone but it resolves my problem without any problem at first match itself. I have tested code on CDT, MDT and CDT timezones and it worked really well.Thanks Guys!!!
