Do not use this method as it has been deprecated for many years (and years). Use DateFormat.parse () where you can easily define the format you want to parse.

That the Date constructor is deprecated for some reason.

You should use DateFormat / SimpleDateFormat instead to create Date instances from String representation.



DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy hh.mm.ss");
Date myDate = df.parse("05-05-MAY-09 03.55.50");

This way, you can parse dates that are in almost any format you might want.

Apart from using the deprecated method (you must use SimpleDateFormat ) this should work:

    new Date("05-MAY-09 03:55:50");

Also check out Joda Time

Use colons to separate hours, minutes and seconds: "05-MAY-09 03:55:50"

This constructor is deprecated (since jdk 1.1).

This is not even relevant in java5

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/sql/Date.html

You should

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(DATE_FORMAT);
Date date = sdf.parse("05-MAY-09 03:55:50");
