Java - unparseable date, need format to match “GMT-0400”

Question

I have the following Java:

DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat(
    \"EEE MMM dd yyyy HH:mm:ss zZ (zzzz)\", Locale.ENGLISH);
Calendar cal = Calendar.         


        

Answer 1

For some reason GMT-0400 isnt' working, and UTC-0400 is working. You can replace GMT with UTC.

Note that this part will be completely ignored - the timezone will be resolved from what's found in the brackets (at least on my machine, JDK 6)
