Parsing a string into a proper Java Date

J

Jbjones

I am not sure what the best way to parse a Z formatted time (GMT) into
my format. Here is an example date string and the parse string I would
like to smehow use:

String to parse: 2004-10-21T20:00:00-04:00
Format string to use:
new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ");

I am not sure if i need to change my time zone from Eastern to GMT to
process then change it back, or what to do. That offset number is the
proper amount to go from GMT(Z) to EDT. Thanks for the help.
