SimpleDateFormat.parse - ParseException

Question

I'm trying to parse a (String) date into Date object, but no matter what pattern I use for SimpleDateFormat , I simply can't make it work, I always end up with getting a ParseException.

Code:

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("E MMM, d, h:mm a", Locale.US);

String strDate = "Tue Sep, 18, 3:30 AM";
Date newDate = null;

newDate = sdf.parse(strDate);

The above code gives me a Exception: java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "Tue Sep, 18, 3:30 AM" .

I've even tried writing the string date directly into the parse method;

newDate = sdf.parse("Tue Sep, 18, 3:30 AM");

But that doesn't make any difference.

I'm cleary doing something wrong, but I just don't see where. I've read http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html over and over, and tried different SimpleDateFormat#pattern but haven't manage to solve it.
