Please upgrade to 1.3.1.
1.3.0 had
,----
| new SimpleTimeZone(10*ONE_HOUR, "Australia/Sydney",
| Calendar.AUGUST, -1, Calendar.SUNDAY /*DOW_IN_MON*/, 2*ONE_HOUR,
|SimpleTimeZone.STANDARD_TIME,
| Calendar.MARCH, -1, Calendar.SUNDAY /*DOW_IN_MON*/, 2*ONE_HOUR,
|SimpleTimeZone.STANDARD_TIME, 1*ONE_HOUR),
| // Rule AN 2000 only - Aug lastSun 2:00s 1:00 -
| // Rule AN 1996 max - Mar lastSun 2:00s 0 -
| // Zone Australia/Sydney 10:00 AN EST
`----
where 1.3.1 has (the also imperfect):
,----
| new SimpleTimeZone(10*ONE_HOUR, "Australia/Sydney",
| Calendar.OCTOBER, -1, Calendar.SUNDAY, 2*ONE_HOUR,
|SimpleTimeZone.STANDARD_TIME,
| Calendar.MARCH, -1, Calendar.SUNDAY, 2*ONE_HOUR,
|SimpleTimeZone.STANDARD_TIME,
| 1*ONE_HOUR),
| // Rule AN 2001 max - Oct lastSun 2:00s 1:00 -
| // Rule AN 1996 max - Mar lastSun 2:00s 0 -
| // Zone Australia/Sydney 10:00 AN EST
`----
1.4 should get everything right (it uses the same zoneinfo file as
glibc).
