Reintroduce DateUtils.UTC_TIME_ZONE constant
--------------------------------------------
Key: LANG-763
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-763
Project: Commons Lang
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: lang.time.*
Affects Versions: 3.0.1
Reporter: Attila Király
Priority: Minor
In LANG-691 DateUtils.UTC_TIME_ZONE was removed because TimeZone-s are mutable.
However it was a handy constant. So it would be nice if it could be
reintroduced in an immutable way. For example:
- by creating a new static method DateUtils.utcTimeZone() {return
TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT");}
- or by creating an immutable timezone type (subclassing maybe SimpleTimeZone)
