java.text.MessageFormat.parse() cannot parse time with long and full subformats.
Here is the example:

---------------t.java---------------
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;

class t {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        MessageFormat mf = new MessageFormat("{0,time," + args[0] + "} - time");

        String text = MessageFormat.format("{0,time," + args[0] + "} - time",
                                           new Object [] { new Date(123456789012L)});
        try {
            Object[] objs = mf.parse(text);
        } catch (ParseException e) {
            System.out.println("ParseException");
            return;
        }
        System.out.println("OK");
    }
}
