    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1305?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15844086#comment-15844086 ] 

Ayush Chaubey commented on LANG-1305:
-------------------------------------

According to the API the date pattern in FastDateFormat follows SimpleDateFormat.
In the issue above the specified date is -
2014-12-15T19:50:00-05:00

whereas it should be -
2014-12-15T19:50:00-0500

The reason is that letter 'Z' is used to represent RFC 822 time zone and its format is like - 0500

> FastDateFormat.getInstance("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ", TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT-05:00")).parse("2014-12-15T19:50:00-05:00");
> This will work on 3.3.2, however, when I upgraded to 3.5 it failed like this:
> Exception in thread "main" java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: 2014-12-15T19:50:00-05:00
> This made me suprized and I have to carefully check my unit tests to see whether upgrade to 3.5 is reliable.
