Examples:

VTimezone timezone = new VTimezone("Eastern Standard Time");
DaylightSavingsTime daylight = new DaylightSavingsTime();

timezone.addDaylightSavingsTime(daylight);

STANDARD

Defines a standard time range within a VTIMEZONE component.

standard.setTimezoneOffsetTo(-5, 0);
timezone.addStandardTime(standard);

event.setRecurrenceRule(new RecurrenceRule(Frequency.WEEKLY));

VFREEBUSY

Defines a collection of time ranges that describe when the person is available or unavailable.

Definition:	RFC 5545 p.59-62
Java class:	`VFreeBusy`

VFreeBusy freebusy = new VFreeBusy();

FreeBusy fb = new FreeBusy();
fb.setType(FreeBusyType.BUSY);

Date onePM = ...
Date threePM = ...
fb.addValue(onePM, threePM);

Date fourPM = ...
Duration oneHour = new Duration.Builder().hours(1).build();
fb.addValue(fourPM, oneHour);

freebusy.addFreeBusy(fb);

VJOURNAL

Defines descriptive text associated with the calendar data.

Definition:	RFC 5545 p.57-9

standard.setTimezoneOffsetTo(-5, 0);
timezone.addStandardTime(standard);

DaylightSavingsTime daylight = new DaylightSavingsTime();
Date startDaylight = ...
