title: Confusion about parsing dates with odd characters
body: <p>In Java 6, I have a date string that looks like</p>
  
  <pre><code>2011-11-28T21:00:00Z
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How would I get a <code>java.util.Date</code> out of the above <code>String</code>, given the "T" and "Z" characters don't really mean anything?  (You can assume the timezone is the default time zone of the machine that is running this Java code).</p>
