I took advantage of several other solutions on this site for this dilemma, and I don't have Joda Time installed, but I still don't understand why this is happening.
I also tried to remove the colons, as indicated in one of the solutions, but this did not help.
currentNode.getProperty("jcr:created").getString()= 2013-03-07T11: 57: 08.596-05: 00
I get this error: java.text.ParseException: Unmatched date: "2013-03-07T11: 57: 08.596-05: 00"
<%@page import="
java.util.Date,

DateFormat outputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MMMM dd, yyyy");
DateFormat inputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ");
String currentDate = currentNode.getProperty("jcr:created").getString();
Date date = inputFormat.parse(currentDate); // <-- Failing here
String currentDateString = outputFormat.format(date);
