Using JODA:

PeriodFormatter periodFormat = new PeriodFormatterBuilder()
  .minimumParsedDigits(2)
  .appendHour() // 2 digits minimum
  .appendSeparator(":")
  .minimumParsedDigits(2)
  .appendMinute() // 2 digits minimum
  .appendSeparator(":")
  .minimumParsedDigits(2)
  .appendSecond()
  .appendSeparator(".")
  .appendMillis3Digit()
  .toFormatter();
Period result = Period.parse(string, periodFormat);
return result.toStandardDuration().getMillis();
