<i18n dev> Review request for 8000529 : Regression : SimpleDateFormat incorrectly parses dates formatted with Z and z pattern letters

[Seán Coffey]

Masayoshi,

this is a JDK 8 review request for an issue we touched on a good while 
back. As suggested by you, fix is to clear ZONE_OFFSET field of the 
calendar being built before attempting to set a DST_OFFSET value. I plan 
to backport to 7u-dev after a few weeks of soak time.
