I think Java is incorrect here. Usually trailing zeros can be omitted.
Also postgresql timestamp has resolution 1 microsecond, so with trailing zeros it must be "2014-09-26 17:17:45.990000", not "2014-09-26 17:17:45.990".

Except the decimal in that construct is a simple part separator and not a fractional indicator.  You cannot drop trailing zeros in the last part in the same way you cannot drop trailing zeros when describing one hundred (100) because if you do you get the number one (1) instead.
