First of All I must agree with @Eric answer.

You just need to remove "CET" from your string of date.

Here is sample code. Check it.

        String time = "Fri, 02 Nov 2012 11:58 pm CET";
        time = time.replaceAll("CET", "").trim();
        SimpleDateFormat displayFormat = 
            new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy, HH:mm");
        SimpleDateFormat parseFormat = 
            new SimpleDateFormat("EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm aa");
        Date date = null;
        try {
            date = parseFormat.parse(time);
        } catch (ParseException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        System.out.println("output is " + displayFormat.format(date));
