Question

Hello I am trying to use the SimpleDateFormatter to parse the date Wed, 30 Jun 2010 15:07:06 CST

I am using the following code

public static SimpleDateFormat postedformat = 
    new SimpleDateFormat("EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss z");
Date newDate = new Date(posteformat.parse("Wed, 30 Jun 2010 15:07:06 CST"));

but I am getting an illegalArgumentException. Please help!

Answer 1

postedformat.parse() returns a Date, and there is no Date(Date) constructor.

Presumably removing the call to new Date, so you say Date newDate = poste.... will suffice
