question: public void testObsoleteDstZoneName ( ) throws Exception { SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat ( "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm zzzz" , Locale . US ) ; Date normal = format . parse ( "1970-01-01T00:00 EET" ) ; Date dst = format . parse ( "1970-01-01T00:00 EEST" ) ; assertEquals ( 60 * 60 * 1000 , normal . getTime ( ) - dst . getTime ( ) ) ; }
target:  Africa/Cairo standard time is EET and daylight time is EEST. They no longer use their DST zone but we should continue to parse it properly.
