This code:
    public static void main(String[] args) throws ParseException {
        String d = "22.07.2024";
        SimpleDateFormat parser = new SimpleDateFormat("d.M.y"); // or when using dd.MM.yyyy instead
        System.out.println(parser.parse(d));
    }

Produces this error:
java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "22.07.2024"

ACTUAL -
A totally false error message is thrown when no actual error occured:
java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "22.07.2024"
