I am trying to format the String date, time and zone information.
LocalDateTime.parse("Dec 01, 2019 1:00:00 PM +00:00", DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("MMM dd, YYYY hh:mm:ss a XXX"));
ZonedDateTime.parse("Dec 01, 2019 1:00:00 PM +00:00", DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("MMM dd, YYYY hh:mm:ss a XXX"));
Please note for project support reasons i cannot use above java 8.
I am unable to get this parse work, I did try a lot of versions before i posted here. any support is appreciated.

Answer 1

Your date-time string, "Dec 01, 2019 1:00:00 PM +00:00" has timezone offset of 00:00 hours. The java.time API provides us with OffsetDateTime to parse this type of date-time string to.
Demo:
import java.time.OffsetDateTime;
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;
import java.util.Locale;
class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
DateTimeFormatter parser = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("MMM dd, uuuu h:mm:ss a XXX", Locale.ENGLISH);
OffsetDateTime odt = OffsetDateTime.parse("Dec 01, 2019 1:00:00 PM +00:00", parser);
System.out.println(odt);
}
}
Output:
2019-12-01T13:00Z

What went wrong with your code?
You have used hh whereas your string has only one digit in the hour.
You have used Y instead of y. Note that Y is used for week-based-year. The right symbol for the intended purpose is y or u. Here, you can use y instead of u but I prefer u to y.
I also recommend you understand the importance of using a Locale while using date-time parsing/formatting API. Check Never use SimpleDateFormat or DateTimeFormatter without a Locale to learn more about it.

Answer 2

This Worked
LocalDateTime.parse("Dec 01, 2019 1:00:00 PM +00:00", DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("MMM dd, yyyy h:mm:ss a XXX"));
ZonedDateTime.parse("Dec 01, 2019 1:00:00 PM +00:00", DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("MMM dd, yyyy h:mm:ss a XXX"));
What I changed was:
We use lower case yyyy for the year. Format pattern strings are case sensitive.
We use just one h for the hour of day since it may be just one digit (1 in my example). A single h does accept two digits too, though, so times with 10, 11 or 12 will not pose any problem.
