 * Result:                 1998-11-02  00:00:00.000 +0100
 * ---------- but error should occur ----------------
 *
 * 2. an appended time zone does'nt detect
 * --------------------------------------------------
 * Date-String to parse:   1999-12-05T09:08:07+0305
 * Format for parsing:     yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss
