Description

Formats ISO_TIME_FORMAT, ISO_TIME_TIME_ZONE_FORMAT prepend a T but this is not correct. Sole time is never prepended by defintion. T is used only when date and time are given.

The Javadocs of ISO_TIME_NO_T_FORMAT, ISO_TIME_NO_T_FORMAT are in correct too because they say: "This pattern does not comply with the formal ISO8601 specification as the standard requires the 'T' prefix for times."

You might want to read Markus Kuhn's reference on that.

A solution would be remove the first two and rename the second two by dropping the NO_T in the name.
