This works

System.out.println(
   new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ")
   .parse("2013-01-12T102:00:00-0400"));

SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ssZ"); Date date = formatter.parse("2013-01-12T12:00:00Z"); – Sam Jan 25 '13 at 19:41
doesnt work for 2013-01-12T12:00:00Z – Sam Jan 25 '13 at 19:54
@Sam `Z` - it's time zone, it can't be just letter `Z`. replace it to `-0400` – isvforall Jan 25 '13 at 19:59

In think SimpleDateFormat is what you need.

new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss").parse(yourString)
