------------------------------------------

+1 Robert, looks good, using setLenient(false) makes the fix much simpler.

> We had an instance where we had an obviously invalid start date for a coordinator job - 2011-12-287T01:00Z - note it will start on the 287th day of December.  I checked on the job today to see if the jobs were completing and it said it was still in PREP.  I double checked the start date and sure enough, it wasn't yet December 287th :).  It would be nice to fail fast so that the error can be addressed sooner.  I would imagine it would just be a date validator and an error thrown when trying to launch the coordinator.  I can submit a patch - if someone would like to just point me in the right direction as far as where to get to the job submission code.
