I got the following date format that I get from an API (Yes I tried to get them to change the API… dailywtf story):

\/Date(1310481956000+0200)\/

How can I convert this into a Java Date? (java.util.Date)

This comes from a .NET JSON web service.

    Without knowing what the date/time string stands for, let me make a guess.

    The 1310481956000 looks to be milliseconds after epoch, and the +0200 an offset relative to GMT.

    The following code seem to indicate it as well:

    final TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT+0200");
final Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(tz);
cal.setTimeInMillis(1310481956000L);
final SimpleDateFormat f = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss z");
f.setTimeZone(tz);
System.out.println(f.format(cal.getTime()));

    Prints 2011-07-12 16:45:56 GMT+02:00
