This is how I set things for the time zone here in Melbourne Australia.
Hope this helps.....


import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.TimeZone;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;

public class DateTimeThingy
{
        public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
        {
                Calendar                calendar;
                SimpleDateFormat        dateformatter;
                String                  systemDate;
                TimeZone                timeZone;

                timeZone = TimeZone.getTimeZone("AET");
                dateformatter = new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE HH:mm:ss, MMMM d, yyyy");
                dateformatter.setTimeZone(timeZone);

                calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
                systemDate = dateformatter.format(calendar.getTime());
                System.out.println(systemDate);
        }
}
