Description

A date format of "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS ZZ" returns "2015-08-13T11:37:13.203 Z" for UTC timezone in version 3.4.

Same format with version 3.3.2 returns "2015-08-13T11:39:28.452 +00:00"

The code which i am using to test this is as follows:

import org.apache.commons.lang3.time.FastDateFormat;

import java.util.Date;
import java.util.TimeZone;

public class FastDateFormatTest {
    private static final String         DATE_FORMAT    = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS ZZ";
    private static       FastDateFormat fastDateFormat = FastDateFormat.getInstance(DATE_FORMAT, TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("fastDateFormat = " + fastDateFormat.format(new Date()));
    }
}
