If a local for jvm is not English, user can not create a VDB in the Teiid Designer. The Designer keeps coming back with the exception:

Unparseable date: "Mon Jun 23 16:43:40 CEST 2014"

Additional info:
In org.teiid.designer.vdb.Vdb.java, SimpleDateFormat is instantiated without setting a local at Line 308(tag 8.3.3). I think following code will solve this issue.

SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy", java.util.Locale.ENGLISH);
