16. SimpleDateFormat not parsing valid RFC822 date?    coderanch.com

The API documentation for SimpleDateFormat says exactly what parsing will accept as a time-zone when the "Z" character is used in the format string. I don't see where it says it will accept a "Z" as a time-zone. And it doesn't mention accepting colons either. So I would say the class is working according to its published specifications.

22. java.lang.NumberFormatException: multiple points in SimpleDateFormat.parse    forums.oracle.com

If this is happening in a web server application, you should be aware of the documented fact that SimpleDateFormat isn't thread-safe. So declaring it as a class-level variable exposes you to that problem. Create a new SimpleDateFormat object each time you need one and only assign it to a local variable within the method.

23. SimpleDateFormat can parse 2009102x    forums.oracle.com

The date formatter doesn't feel the need to parse all the characters you give it. If it reads an acceptable date it will ignore any garbage following.

You'll find the same with the NumberFormat objects. Also, ...
