use the SimpleDateFormat to parse your date

SimpleDateFormat parserSDF=new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM d HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy");
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
System.out.println(parserSDF.format(cal.getTime()));

It will print as Wed Oct 31 18:28:55 IST 2012

Use SimpleDateFormat:

String str_date = "Wed Oct 31 18:28:55 IST 2012";

// Here is your date as string

DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM d HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy");
Date date = (Date) formatter.parse(str_date); 
Timestamp timeStampDate = new Timestamp(date.getTime());

// Here is your date as timestamp
