Formatting JavaScript jQuery Date format in Java with SimpleDateFormat

Question

I get this from JQuery:

"Fri Nov 28 2014 10:19:52 GMT+0100 (CET)"

How do I format this String into a Date object in Java?

Try following code:

String date="Fri Nov 28 2014 10:19:52 GMT+0100 (CET)";
Date dateTime= new SimpleDateFormat("E MMM dd yyyy HH:mm:ss 'GMT'Z (z)").parse(date);

The dig is to use SimpleDateFormat to parse a String into Date. For more on SimpleDateFormat visit this link.

Funnily enough, I was using EEE MMM dd YYYY HH:mm:ss 'GMT'Z (z) but it gave me back Fri Jan 03 2014 10:19:52 GMT+0100 (CET). Your format string works properly if I use Locale.US at the end, because it breaks with my locale (Hungarian). Thanks.
