Hi Umaoka-san,
Yes, JDK uses the time zone name translations from CLDR. Currently we
simply map names from CLDR's standard/daylight/generic to Java's
equivalents. Do you mean in CLDR, you guys discussed whether to flip
standard/daylight names based on the offset being positive/negative? Or
something else?
