venki.Have a look in to the below code
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
public class DateFormatTest
public static void main( String[] cmdArgs )
throws Exception
SimpleDateFormat sdfInput =
new SimpleDateFormat( "yyyy-MM-dd" );
SimpleDateFormat sdfOutput =
new SimpleDateFormat ( "EEE, d MMM yyyy hh:mm aaa" ); //Change the patterns in to what ever u need
String textDate = "2001-01-04";
Date date = sdfInput.parse( textDate );
System.out.println( sdfOutput.format( date ) );
i will suggest u to look in to the API doc you will come to know lot many things.
