If you need to parse date from string:

final DateTimeZone dtz = DateTimeZone.getDefault(); //DateTimeZone.forID("Europe/Warsaw")
LocalDateTime ldt = new LocalDateTime("1946-04-14", dtz);
if (dtz.isLocalDateTimeGap(ldt)){
    ldt = ldt.plusHours(1);
}
DateTime date = ldt.toDateTime();
Date date = date.toDate();

Worked for me perfectly. Maybe somebody will need it.
