Bibtex month like #mar# not parsed

[Siedlerchr]

Originally reported at JabRef/jabref#3239
Enter the month 3 in the month field in JabRef.
JabRef converts the month to #mar# which is then passed to CSL.

I debugged a bit through and found that the toMonth method returns -1.
You could take this as a chance to make use of the new fancy DateFormatter in Java 8 and simply the parsing of dates:

The issue in JabRef has been fixed. Is there still something that we need to do here on the side of citeproc-java? DateParser is already able to recognise mar as a month name.

By the way: the new DateFormatter was already available when I created citeproc-java. However, DateParser is even more lenient and specifically optimised for BibTeX.

I'm closing this due lack of response. Also, the issue seems to be fixed already. If there still is a problem please open a new issue. Thanks.
