SimpleDateFormat, missing an hour

Question

Hello
I'm trying to parse in a timestamp, but I'm missing an hour, the example below is a boiled down version of my code. I expected output to be "10:11:12", but instead it is "09:11:12" so an hour is lost in translation.. any clues?
        try {
            SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
            SimpleDateFormat timeFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
            Date dateDate = dateFormat.parse("2010-08-10");
            Date timeDate = timeFormat.parse("10:11:12");
            Date date = new Date(timeDate.getTime() + dateDate.getTime());
            System.out.println(timeFormat.format(date));
        } catch (ParseException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

Well, that's your opinion. Like I wrote - the example is a boildown, the target code is a bit more complex than that.Yep - my opinion but I'm allowed to express it as long as I do so within the CofC.
Why would you post code showing the addition of two getTime() values if your real code did not do that? If you are in any way using arithmetic to combine two getTime() values then it is almost certainly the wrong approach. Yes, again my opinion but I think you will find it shared by others.
