我想知道是否SimpleDateFormat可以挽救 Java 来解析时区 UCT 和 UT？例如
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE, dd MMM yyyy H:m:s Z");
String date1 = "Wed, 10 Oct 2012 11:21:22 UT"; //fails to parse
String date2 = "Wed, 10 Oct 2012 11:21:22 UTC"; //succeeds
String date3 = "Wed, 10 Oct 2012 11:21:22 EDT"; //succeeds
可以拿SimpleDateFormat这个吗？或者是否有必要使用正则表达式进行预清理，或者是否建议派生或扩展日期解析器类，或者是否有另一个库具有足够相似的接口，可以在更多情况下使用。
因为UT不是 java 中的有效时区。这是打印所有支持的时区的快速程序
for (String str : TimeZone.getAvailableIDs()) {
System.out.println(str);
}

这是一个错误，6609397 : [Fmt-Da] RFE: SimpleDateFormat does not accept UT as a timezone其中提到：-

不，恐怕不能。我找不到 UT 时区，怀疑 java 也找不到。我的消息来源：
我认为您唯一的选择是预处理您的输入，将 UT 变成某种标准时区。
Joda time 将是另一个在更多情况下具有类似界面的库。
