Something like this..., but it throws an error on my machine and i have given up on fixing it.import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
     SimpleDateFormat sdf1, sdf2;
     try {
         sdf1 = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yy");
         Date d1 = sdf1.parse("01/02/03");
         sdf2 = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM dd yyyy");
         sdf2.setLenient(true);
         Date d2 = sdf1.parse("Jan 02 2003");
         if (d1.equals(d2)) System.out.println("De same, De same!");
     } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
}
