Smart Java Date Parsing

Does anyone know of a class or library that does "smart" date parsing ("guessing" would be a better word)? A lot of programs, like spreadsheets, are good at taking arbitrarily formatted date strings and turning them into a good guess of the user's intent, regardless of whether the user enters a partial date (missing year), specifies month by number, name or abbreviation, adds annoying modifiers like "th" (Feb 14th), or even does crazy things like "today" or "yesterday". Even better if it takes a locale to know if the date is likely MM/dd or dd/MM.

I know it's wishful thinking, but I thought I'd see if anyone has heard of something like this in Java.
