Trying to parse a date with a detailed time zone:
var sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss z");
sdf.parse("2022-09-02 02:30:10 America/New_York");
Getting:
java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "2022-09-02 02:30:10 America/New_York"
Tried: specifying "z", "zzz", "X" and "XXX" in the date formatter.
You can use the modern Time API with a DateTimeFormatter instead. The symbol for a (long) Zone-id is VV.
For example
System.out.println(ZonedDateTime.parse(
"2022-09-02 02:30:10 America/New_York",
DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss VV")));
Outputs
2022-09-02T02:30:10-04:00[America/New_York]
