Joda doesn't use the same TZ data as the JDK. Instead, it's compiled
directly into the jar[0]. If you only use joda for time, then it doesn't
matter, and in fact, it's better because Oracle's tzdata.jar releases can
be several months behind the actual update so you can get the new update
more quickly, but it does require more work. If you need to work with an
existing codebase that uses Calendar and TimeZone, then you'll have to keep
both updated to the same version. If JSR-310 is incorporated into Java 8,
then it will use the same TZ data as the JDK.
