Answer 1

you can use pure java code to get this

    String input = "Tue Jun 22 18:17:48 +0000 2010";
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM d hh:mm:ss Z yyyy");
    Date date = sdf.parse(input);
    sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM d");
    System.out.println(sdf.format(date));

OUTPUT: Jun 22
