I have a problem with this code 

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, ParseException { 
    String strDate = "2011-01-12 07:50:00";
    DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd H:M:S");
    Date date = formatter.parse(strDate);
    System.out.println("Date="+date);
}

The output is:
Date=Thu Feb 12 07:01:00 EET 2015
What am i doing wrong??

Upper case M is the day of the month designator. Lower case m is the minute in the hour. Also, you want lower case s, as upper case S is milliseconds.

That said, what you need may be closer to this

yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss

Your format is wrong, see SimpleDateFormat.

You want this instead, 

String strDate = "2011-01-12 07:50:00";
DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");

This might have some use hopefully: Extract time from date String

Modify the 'H:mm' to whatever you want the format to be.

as your question you check DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd H:M:S"); in this statement "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" is the SimpleDateFormate.
