Hi There,

Based on our previous discussion, I am trying to get Joda to parse a time
that lies in the hour of 01:00 to 02:00 on the 28th October 2007 into a
pre-changover time. The hours go BACK at 02:00 AM so I want to parse a time
representing the pre changover time.

        DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("yyyy-MM-dd
HH:mm:ssZZZZZZZZ");
        DateTime preDSTTime = formatter.parseDateTime("2007-10-28
01:20:30+01:00/Z");

The above code does not work, it throws an exception.

Is there a way I can do this? I tried parseInto also and it does not seem to
work, it parses it into GMT and does not throw an exception.

many thanks,

- Paul.
