    NSDateFormatter* formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
    [formatter setDateFormat:@"dd-MM-YYYY HH:mm"];        
    [formatter setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone systemTimeZone]];

If i choose MM i get the month in number: 09-05-2012 15:33
If i choose MMMM i get the month in word: 09-May-2012 15:33

What i wanted, was the month in 3 letters abbreviation.
Eg: January would be Jan

In this case May is correct because it only has 3 letters.
