Try using the following code
    private static Date parseDate(String date, SimpleDateFormat format) throws Exception
        try
            int zone = -1;
            if ( (zone = date.lastIndexOf('+')) != -1 )
                format.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT" + date.substring(zone, date.length())));
            else if ( ((zone = date.lastIndexOf('-')) != -1) && (zone >= 10) )
                format.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT" + date.substring(zone, date.length())));
            else
                format.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getDefault());
            return format.parse(date.substring(0, 10) + "Z");
        } catch (Exception e)
            e.printStackTrace();
    }Invoke the method as follows
parseDate("2005-06-10'T'15:56:00", new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'Z'", Locale.US);This will return a java.util.Date. The '+' and '-' are for if you want to add a timezone offset such as "+06:00" or "-06:00" to the end of your date string.
