I'm trying to parse a non-standard date string like the following
2008-12-05T10:58:04.197-05:00
. Using a SimpleDateFormat string such as
yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ
won't work because the timezone portion of the date doesn't follow either of the two supported formats. Is there any way to get the formatter to accept this date?

Phillipe,
How about converting the string to the standard "-0800" first? You could use a string method call to get rid of the last colon.

Yep. That's what I ended up doing. Just thought there was some more... elegant way to do this. Oh well.
Thanks!
