maybe in BasicPersistenceModule.java ?
protected SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy.MM.dd HH:mm:ss Z");

This is a bug linked to browser and timezone parsing:
admin/broadleaf-open-admin-platform/src/main/resources/open_admin_style/js/admin/ui/dates.js

- Sometimes you don't have GMT but UTC
- Sometimes you don't have spaces character after timezone code

ko Firefox 20 "Wed May 01 2013 13:24:00 GMT+0200" (space missing)
ko IE10 "Wed May 1 13:24:00 UTC+0200 2013" (UTC)
ok Chrome26 "Wed May 01 2013 13:24:00 GMT+0200 (Paris, Madrid (heure d’été))" (still works)

Because of that Categories & products could not be edited and saved in IE/FF browsers

KO firefox 20.0.1: Unparseable date: "2013.05.01 13:24:00"
KO internet explorer 10: Unparseable date: "2013.05.01 13:24:00 d"
OK google chrome Version 26.0.1410.64 m: "2013.05.01 13:24:00 +0200"

Only the last case matches "yyyy.MM.dd HH:mm:ss Z" pattern.

Fix:


i send a PullRequest for that...
