In fact, the current `DateTimeFormatterBuilder.InstantPrinterParser` already use different behavior for formatting, i.e., only print time in "Z" (no offset). The following change: --- a/src/java.base/share/classes/java/time/format/DateTimeFormatterBuilder.java +++ b/src/java.base/share/classes/java/time/format/DateTimeFormatterBuilder.java @@ -3887,7 +3887,7 @@ public int parse(DateTimeParseContext context, CharSequence text, int position) .appendValue(MINUTE_OF_HOUR, 2).appendLiteral(':') .appendValue(SECOND_OF_MINUTE, 2) .appendFraction(NANO_OF_SECOND, minDigits, maxDigits, true) - .appendOffsetId() + .appendOffset("+HH:mm:ss", "Z") .toFormatter().toPrinterParser(false); DateTimeParseContext newContext = context.copy(); int pos = parser.parse(newContext, text, position); will parse hour-only offset for `Instant.parse()` but I am not sure we would go for this, as other `ISO` formatters all use "MM" for minutes. @jodastephen any suggestions? ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/26708#issuecomment-3175834055
