A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
trying to create a Offset/LocalDateTime object from a given date/time string and a date/time format based on Patterns for Formatting and Parsing from DateTimeFormatter fails when attempting to parse the ZoneOffset value

THE PROBLEM WAS REPRODUCIBLE WITH -Xint FLAG: Did not try

THE PROBLEM WAS REPRODUCIBLE WITH -server FLAG: Did not try

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Create the string variable containing the actual Date/Time

    private String strDate = "2013-06-14T12:04:36.454-04:00";

Create the string variable holding the pattern to be used by the formatter

    private static String datePattern = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'hh:mm:ss.SSSXXX";

Create the DateTimeFormatter object

    private DateTimeFormatter dateFormatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern(datePattern);

Attempt to create a LocalDateTime object from the strDate and dateFormatter

    private LocalDateTime ldtDate = LocalDateTime.parse(strDate, dateFormatter);

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
When it seems that the Pattern syntax is correct to read the given string the following Error is thrown

Text '2013-06-14T12:04:36.454-04:00' could not be parsed: Unable to obtain LocalDateTime from TemporalAccessor: class java.time.format.Parsed
