[java] How to tackle daylight savings using TimeZone in Java

In java, DateFormatter by default uses DST,To avoid day Light saving (DST) you need to manually do a trick,
first you have to get the DST offset i.e. for how many millisecond DST applied, for ex somewhere DST is also for 45 minutes and for some places it is for 30 min
but in most cases DST is of 1 hour
you have to use Timezone object and check with the date whether it is falling under DST or not and then you have to manually add offset of DST into it. for eg:

 TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone("EST");
 boolean isDST = tz.inDaylightTime(yourDateObj);
 if(isDST){
 int sec= tz.getDSTSavings()/1000;// for no. of seconds
 Calendar cal= Calendar.getInstance();
 cal.setTime(yourDateObj);
 cal.add(Calendar.Seconds,sec);
 System.out.println(cal.getTime());// your Date with DST neglected
  }
