Try:

Date d = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy").parse("5/22/2011");
String s = new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE, MMMM dd").format(d);

Take a look at the class SimpleDateFormat The javadoc give a good description of the parameters

You can use one format to convert into a java Date object and then another to convert back into the second string
