Java - Unparseable date

Question

I am trying to parse a date, but I am oddly getting an exception.

This is the code:

import java.util.Date;

String strDate = \"Wed, 09 Feb 2011 12:3         


        

Answer 1

It's probably because of the default locale on your computer which is not english.

You should use:

new SimpleDateFormat("EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss", Locale.ENGLISH);

instead.
