Can't parse using SimpleDateFormat [duplicate]

Answer 1

You are probably trying to parse it with JAPANESE locale (guessing it from your profile + your web page), specify any english locale for example: Locale.US

String dateString = "Dec 6 04:13:01";
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM d HH:mm:ss", Locale.US);
System.out.println(df.parse(dateString));
