Hi all-

I assume I'm doing something wrong here, but I've been going through
the docs and haven't come up with a reason why this should be
happening.

Basically, if I create a new DateTime object and pass it a
DateTimeZone instance called from forOffsetHours(), when I try to
print the time using the DateTimeFormatter, I get -06:00 instead of
CST. Below is an example:

import org.joda.time.DateTime;
import org.joda.time.DateTimeZone;

import org.joda.time.format.DateTimeFormat;
import org.joda.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;

public class TimeTest
{
        public static void main(String[] args)
        {
                DateTime dt = new DateTime();
                DateTimeFormatter calendarTimeFormat = 
DateTimeFormat.forPattern("hh:mm a z");
                System.out.println(dt.toString() + " - " + 
calendarTimeFormat.print(dt));

                Integer timeZoneOffset = -6;

                // And put them together
                DateTime birthDateTime = new DateTime(  2004,
                                                        12,
                                                                                
        27,
                                                                                
        16,
                                                                                
        44,
                                                                                
        0,
                                                                                
        0,
                                                                                
        DateTimeZone.forOffsetHours(timeZoneOffset));

                System.out.println(birthDateTime.toString() + " - " +
calendarTimeFormat.print(birthDateTime));
        }

}

This will print (as of a couple of minutes ago):

2008-11-22T23:06:27.399-06:00 - 11:06 PM CST
2004-12-27T16:44:30.533-06:00 - 04:44 PM -06:00


Might anyone have an idea why this is happening? Any help would be appreciated.

Ron
