> It seems that FastDateFormat is case sensitive. But it claims to be mostly compatible with SimpleDateFormat which is not.
> For example, this throws a ParseException:
> FastDateFormat.getInstance("dd-MMM-yyyy").parse("01-jan-2000");
> But these do not:
> SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy");
> sdf.parse("01-jan-2000");
> DateUtils.parse("01-jan-2000", "dd-MMM-yyyy");
