To write test I need to set LocalDateTime to 0000-00-00 00:00:00 . When I try to set it using formatter:

DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
LocalDateTime.parse("0000-00-00 00:00:00", formatter)
it throws an exception:
java.time.format.DateTimeParseException: Text '0000-00-00 00:00:00' could not be parsed: Invalid value for YearOfEra (valid values 1 - 999999999/1000000000): 0
How can I do this?
There's no day 0 in any month. Days always starts in 1
There's no month 0 in any year. Months always starts in 1
There's no year 0 in the Gregorian calendar. That's the error you're getting (Invalid value for YearOfEra). You should set a year greater than 0
                Two thirds correct. There is a year 0 in the proleptic Gregorian calendar. LocalDateTIme and the other classes from java.time use this calendar. Only there is no year 0 in the default era (common era or anno dominum).
