parsing that tz data is not trivial (you might have better luck w/the binary distribution). if you don't need the historical data, frequent updates & all those nifty comments you might simply use something like icu4j's tz classes which provides the same IDs, etc as well as allowing you fairly easy access to the tz rules.
