I don't know whether it is a bug or not.
But I want to convert a string of "05/12/2010" to
date. Kindly help me in this.

import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;

class datetest
{
  public static void main(String[] args) throws ParseException
  {
        Date aDate;
        String test;
        DateFormat fmt = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT, Locale.UK);
        aDate = fmt.parse("05/12/2010");
        System.out.println("The Date String is : "+fmt.format(aDate));
        System.out.println("The Date String is : "+aDate);
  }
}


The output I got is "The Date String is : Mon Jan 05 00:00:00 GMT +00:00 1920

Other outputs are :
The Date String is : 05/12/10
The Date String is : Sun Dec 04 19:00:00 EST 3910
