DateTimeParseException on POST /images

[kamathprasad9]

I am trying to make the POST /images call from Field Book which uses the BrAPI Java client package. I noticed an issue regarding the timestamps that Breedbase is sending back for the call:
org.brapi.client.v2.model.exceptions.ApiException: j$.time.format.DateTimeParseException: Text '2024-06-17T15:16:24-0400' could not be parsed, unparsed text found at index 22

The abovementioned timestamp follows the formats mentioned in the BrAPI docs, but still we are not able to parse the response as intended. We can make a quick fix by changing the response from Breedbase, but I feel it is best if we address this issue in BrAPI client package

Here's a PR that should fix the issue in breedbase

In this codebase we could also update TimeAdapter.java with a custom formatter to handle the absence of : in the offset, but I think it'd be better to keep it as it is and instead update the BrAPI docs to match the offset options allowed by the java DateTimeFormatter

It's already pretty flexible, and includes

Z - for UTC (ISO-8601)
+hh:mm or -hh:mm - if the seconds are zero (ISO-8601)
+hh:mm:ss or -hh:mm:ss - if the seconds are non-zero (not ISO-8601)
