You can do it with a workaround if you're stuck to Java < 8, but it's very ugly:

java.util.Date date = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy").parse("05.08.2015");

as @Thomas already stated, the default Constructor for date/month/year is deprecated. Probably take a look at this link if you have access to Java8.
