formatting date, GMT timezone

[AvihayTsayeg]

private void setTimeZone(String timeZoneID) {
        setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone(timeZoneID), DateTimeZone.forID(timeZoneID));
}
private void setTimeZone(TimeZone timeZone, DateTimeZone dateTimeZone) {
        System.setProperty("user.timezone", timeZone.getID());
        TimeZone.setDefault(timeZone);
        DateTimeZone.setDefault(dateTimeZone);
}


DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss z yyyy");
dateTimeFormatter.print(new DateTime(2001, 12, 22, 23, 59, 59, 0))

"GMT" --> timeZoneID
java7 simpledateFormat --> "Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT 2001"
v2.7 --> "Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 +00:00 2001"

"Europe/London" --> timeZoneID
java7 simpledateFormat --> "Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT 2001"
v2.7 --> "Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT 2001"

The GMT timezone format of "z" seems to behave like "Z"
