  <pre><code>2012-11-09T00:00:00+01:00
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would like to convert this to</p>
  
  <pre><code>2012-11-08T23:00:00Z

  <p>Unfortunatly i lack Java skils and therefore also Groovy skils to be able to do this on my own. i did a lot o searches on date convertions but until now i was still unable to find what i was looking for. i will keep searching. if i do manage to get the solution then i will post it here.</p>
