title: Java SimpleDateFormat parse issue into WEKA
body: <p>I swear I'm using the correct date format but I keep getting a parse error when loading into WEKA.</p>
  
  <pre><code>"MonFeb2116:00:00+0000"
  "EEEMMMddHH:mm:ssZ"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here is an example dataset:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@RELATION example
  
  @ATTRIBUTE tweetid STRING 
  @ATTRIBUTE timestamp DATE "EEEMMMddhh:mm:ssZ"
  @ATTRIBUTE I NUMERIC
  @ATTRIBUTE a NUMERIC
  @ATTRIBUTE cool NUMERIC
  @ATTRIBUTE foo NUMERIC
  @ATTRIBUTE bar NUMERIC
  @ATTRIBUTE temp NUMERIC
  @ATTRIBUTE class {POS,NEG}
  
  @DATA

  <p>WEKA Error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>unparseable date "MonFeb2116:00:00+0000, read Token[MonFeb2116:00:00+0000], line 21
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Have used the API documentation to double check - missing something?</p>

  <p>Formatted date to separate tokens with space. Still not playing ball in WEKA...</p>
