return dfmt.parse(date);
DateparseDate(final String dateStr)
Attempts to parse given date string using patterns described https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6991#page-11 with exception that ONLY UTC patterns are accepted. 
for (final String fmt : DATE_AND_TIME_FORMATS) {
    try {
        final SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(fmt);
        sdf.setTimeZone(TZ_UTC);
        return sdf.parse(dateStr);
    } catch (ParseException e) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException(
        "Unrecognized DateAndTime value : " + dateStr + " (only UTC date is accepted)");
DateparseDate(final String dateString)
This method parses a Date from a string with the format dd.MM.yyyy kk:mm. 
Date date = null;
DateFormat formatter;
try {
    formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ");

...
DateparseDate(final String pDate)

if ("today".equalsIgnoreCase(str) || "now".equalsIgnoreCase(str)) {
    return new Date();
for (int i = 0; i < DATE_PATTERNS.length; i++) {
    DATE_PARSER.applyPattern(DATE_PATTERNS[i]);
    DATE_PARSE_POSITION.setIndex(0);
    final Date date = DATE_PARSER.parse(str, DATE_PARSE_POSITION);
    if (date != null && DATE_PARSE_POSITION.getIndex() == str.length()) {
...
