Title:
  "Unparseable date"

Status in OpenJDK:
  Invalid
Status in “openjdk-6” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  import java.util.*;
  DateFormat dp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddHHmmss z");
  Date start = dp.parse("20081001175000 CET");

  returns "Unparseable date" on OpenJDK 6 on Ubuntu 8.04.1 server, but
  works with Sub Java 6 on Gentoo.

  I suspect it doesn't understand the timezone "CET" and expects a
  numerical ("+0100" or "+0200", depending on summer / winter time)?
