In Java, What can I use to convert the string "27/Jun/1991" to a date or timestamp?

Question

Simply Use [SimpleDateFormat](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html) — hanut, May 22 '13 at 04:39
@Luv, please take care with your edits. Code formatting is meant to be used for code, not merely to highlight portions of text. — Michael Petrotta, May 22 '13 at 04:42

Well, I tested my code before posting, seems like you are running not my code – Evgeniy Dorofeev May 22 '13 at 04:56
Thanks for answer, SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MMM/yyyy", Locale.ENGLISH); Locale.ENGLISH is important – Khúc Củi May 31 '13 at 10:04

     Date date=null;;
    try {
        date = formatter.parse("27/Jun/1991");
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }  
     System.out.println("Date::" +date);
