Wrong SimpleDateFormat parse

This  issue applies to:
IDE: NetBeans/Eclipse/IDEA
Simulator
Device

I ran this code on the above platform

String src = "2017-06-13T10:59:19.037+0100 Africa/Lagos";

SimpleDateFormat DATEFORMAT = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ zzz");

Date parse = DATEFORMAT.parse(src);

System.out.println(parse);

Instead of getting Tue Jun 13 10:59:19 WAT 2017 I got Tue Jun 13 09:59:19 WAT 2017

Africa/Lagos and WAT are in the same timezone

Parsing with simple date format doesn't support all the various timezones since SimpleDateFormat doesn't have access to the full JavaSE timezone list.
