DateConverter not storing TimeZone information.

DateConverter does not (by default) properly store time zone information. The overall effect is a date serialized during daylight savings is not accurate when deserialized during standard time.

---- BEGIN EXAMPLE ----
The effect is illistrated as follows:
(format string) "EEEE, MMMM dd yyyy - hh:mm:ss.S a" (english locale)

on a new Date() (while in MDT)
will produce -
Wednesday, November 24 2004 - 10:38:52.236 AM (daylight savings)

however if you read this date after a switch to MST,
the date will parse as:
Wednesday, November 24 2004 - 10:38:52.236 AM

instead of:
Wednesday, November 24 2004 - 09:38:52.236 AM | MST
---- END EXAMPLE ----

Furthermore, the usage of HH in the format string makes the AM/PM redundant. To correct these problems, I suggest the following change be made to the default constructor of DateConverter:

FROM:
public DateConverter() {
this("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.S a", new String[]

);
}

TO:
public DateConverter() {
this("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.S z", new String[]

);
}
