------- J.java -------
import java.util.*;

public class J {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        long time = 9223372036854775807L;
        TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone("Pacific/Kiritimati");
        int gmtOffset = tz.getOffset(time);
        GregorianCalendar cal = new GregorianCalendar();
        cal.setTimeInMillis(time);
        int gmtOffset2 = cal.getMaximum(Calendar.ZONE_OFFSET);
        System.out.println("Time zone gmtOffset  : "+gmtOffset);
        System.out.println("Calendar gmtOffset   : "+gmtOffset2);
    }
