From DateTimeFormatter javadoc:
Zone names: Time zone names ('z') cannot be parsed.
Therefore timezone parsing like:
System.out.println(new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss z yyyy").parse("Fri Nov 11 12:13:14 JST 2010"));
cannot be done in Joda:
DateTimeFormatter dtf = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss z yyyy");
System.out.println(dtf.parseDateTime("Fri Nov 11 12:13:14 JST 2010"));
//Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid format: "Fri Nov 11 12:13:14 JST 2010" is malformed at "JST 2010"
//at org.joda.time.format.DateTimeFormatter.parseDateTime(DateTimeFormatter.java:673)
