org.joda.time | Day Light Saving time (DST) and local time zone offset

Question

just to verify this: I have this lame and brain dead method to calculate the time zone offset for my current location. I wonder if I need to adjust it when Day Light Saving

Answer 1

Yes, that's fine. To verify that it is correct - instead of passing null pass in a DateTime object to DateTimeZone.getOffset - set the datetime to sometime in summer when you know DST is in effect - you should see the offset value change.
