I am having problems parsing time strings in Java that are in the format of `2013-01-09 09:15:03.000000`. In my data, the last three digits are always 0 (meaning the input strings have only millisecond precision), so I passed this format to SimpleDateFormat:

```
formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS'000'");

```

but `formatter.parse("2013-01-09 09:15:02.500000");` throws an exception:

```
Unparseable date: "2013-01-09 09:15:02.500000"
    at java.text.DateFormat.parse(DateFormat.java:357)

```

Anyone knows how to do it correctly? I can work around by using format `yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS` and using `substring` to get rid of last three digits but that's really hacky.

EDIT: can anyone explain why the format string `yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS'000'` can't be used to parse time `"2013-01-09 09:15:02.500000"`
