The ISODateTimeFormat class contains lots of suitable formats, and the
source code shows how to tune them. Basically, the formatter supports
optional sections, and most standard parsers use them. For your use
case, you simply don't want anything to be optional:
Some example code to get you started:
DateTimeFormatter f =
DateTimeFormat.forPattern("yyyy-MM-dd'T'hh:mm:ss.SSSZZ");
System.out.println(f.parseDateTime("2011-02-02T02:30:30.000+02:30"));
System.out.println(f.withOffsetParsed().parseDateTime("2011-02-02T02:30:30.000+02:30"));
System.out.println(f.parseDateTime("2011-02-02T02:30:30.000"));
