<i18n dev> TimeZone#setRawOffset problem?

[Yoshito Umaoka]

Hello,

I found some test cases in our project started failing after updating 
JRE's tzdata version to 2014g. The test case creates a new TimeZone, and 
modify the raw offset. I know it's ancient API before Java implemented 
tz database, and I know the functionality is somewhat moot at this 
point. However, it looks the problem was introduced recently - I thought 
it worked OK a few months ago (but I'm not 100% sure).

Java version:

java version "1.7.0_67"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_67-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.65-b04, mixed mode)

TZ database version: 2014g

Simple test code:

         for (String id : TimeZone.getAvailableIDs()) {
             TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone(id);

             int orgOffset = tz.getRawOffset();

             // Update raw offset : + 30 minutes
             int newOffset = orgOffset + 30*60*1000;
             tz.setRawOffset(newOffset);

             int actualOffset = tz.getRawOffset();

             if (actualOffset != newOffset) {
                 System.out.println(id + " [org=" + orgOffset
                         + ", new=" + newOffset
                         + ", actual=" + actualOffset + "]");
             }
         }

If my understanding is correct, the standard offset of these zones will 
change later in this year.

Should I go ahead and file a bug?
