解析日期时出现ParseException

Question

I am running the following code:

DateFormat fullDate = new SimpleDateFormat("HHmmdd/MMMyy");
Date date = fullDate.parse("035627/NOV15");

and the following exception is thrown:

Exception in thread "main" java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date:"035627/NOV15

Any ideas, why the exception is thrown, while the format is validly stated?

Answer 1

The likeliest reason is that NOV is not a valid month in your default Locale. This should fix the problem (adjust the Locale to match the language used for the month name):

DateFormat fullDate = new SimpleDateFormat("HHmmdd/MMMyy", Locale.ENGLISH);
