    In some configurations it was possible to have a newer
    version of the icu4j runtime in the classpath than what is
    shipped with the EGL Java runtime, causing a parse problem
    with date formats.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Support for the newer icu4j API was added to the date format
    routine.
    

Temporary fix
