[Yes](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html). – Glorfindel Jul 25 '15 at 15:26

Despite its name, [SimpleDateFormat](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html) both parses and formats dates and times. – fvu Jul 25 '15 at 15:26

@InfernoVol Some [searching before posting](http://stackoverflow.com/search?q=Java+date+format) would be nice. – Basil Bourque Jul 25 '15 at 18:29

I would suggest using two SimpleDateFormat objects for this.
Date date = new SimpleDateFormat("ddMMyy").parse( dateString);
String result = new SimpleDateFormat("dd:MM:yy").format( date );
For the format, see the documentation: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html
