Answer 1

String time = "Fri Apr 15 14:29:57 IDT 2011";
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzzz yyyy");
System.out.println(sdf.parse(time));

Works great for me.!

Perhaps you can try with

 SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzzz yyyy",Locale.ENGLISH);

Answer 2

Your default locale is not compatible with this date pattern.

Try:

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzzz yyyy", Locale.ENGLISH);

(I confirmed it as working)

Answer 3

add locale as the second constructor parameter:

    String time = "Fri Apr 15 14:29:57 IDT 2011";
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzzz yyyy", Locale.ENGLISH);
System.out.println(sdf.parse(time));
