The first method was already there, the secnd ive just added. both have this 
caveat:

   * NOTE: we are using jodatime patterns right now, but may switch to jsr-310 
when thats available in java 8.
   *  Not sure whether these patterns will still work then, so use this 
formatter at the risk of having to
   *  change it eventually. OTOH, its likely that the same functionality will 
be present in jsr-310.
 

 public CalendarDateFormatter(String pattern) {
    dflocal = DateTimeFormat.forPattern(pattern).withZoneUTC();
  }

  public CalendarDateFormatter(String pattern, CalendarTimeZone tz) {
    dflocal = DateTimeFormat.forPattern(pattern).withZone( 
tz.getJodaTimeZone());
  }
