Answer 1

java.time

    DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("uuuu-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSXX");
    String dateString = "2018-10-17T22:37:10.000+0000";
    OffsetDateTime odt = OffsetDateTime.parse(dateString, formatter);

    System.out.println("Parsed datetime: " + odt);

Output from this code is:

Parsed datetime: 2018-10-17T22:37:10Z

For saving into MySQL it’s good to use a datetime object, but the Timestamp class has design problems and is now long outdated. I am sorry that I don’t have the experience with MySQL, but I think the following should work:

    PreparedStatement ps = myDatabaseConnection.prepareStatement(
            "insert into my_table (my_timestamp) values (?)");
    ps.setObject(1, odt);
