[Bug classpath/22942] java.text.SimpleDateFormat parse(String) fails when String is including "GMT"

[gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org]

'public Date parse (String dateStr, ParsePosition pos)' calls 
computeOffset' method at line 1002 to check GMT timezone style. When the result
isn't null, 'pos' aren't changed in GNU Classpath 0.15. 'computeOffset' method
have to return the length of matched string.

Thanks for the report. I've looked into this, and I think I've got it fixed
now. I'll be sending in a patch shortly.

There were actually several bugs with computeOffset.

This bug is also triggered by the unit tests in StatCVS.  I've added a Mauve
test case that is equivalent to the failing test code in StatCVS.

Fixed.

Thanks.  All (171) junit tests in StatCVS pass now, so that is a little bit of
progress.
