I know that this is deprecated in WO5.4, but I have a source

and I'm getting an Illegal arguement exception: Invalid pattern
yyyy'-'MM'-'dd' 'HH':'mm':'sszzzz when I try parsing the input
string into an NSTimestamp.
Try removing bits to isolate what it does not like.
At first I tried just using the normal SimpleDateFormat class in
java, but apparently there's an issue with the "-" characters and so
I thought I'd revert to using NSTimestampFormatter to get past this
issue.
What is the issue with "-" characters? You should be able to escape
them, no?
Am I doing something wrong? OK, dumb question. What am I doing
wrong? ;-)
Not sure yet. I do recall that NSTimestampFormatter and time zone
parsing or formatting is somehow buggy.
