Parse a String to Date in Java

by

You seem to be mixing the patterns for z and Z. If you ignore the (FLE Daylight Time), since this is the same info as in GMT+0300, the problem becomes that SimpleDateFormat wants either GMT +0300 or GMT+03:00. The last variant can be parsed like this: 

String time = "Sun Jul 15 2012 12:22:00 GMT+03:00 (FLE Daylight Time)";
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd yyyy HH:mm:ss zzz");
Date date = sdf.parse(time);

[EDIT]
In light of the other posts about their time strings working, this is probably because your time string contains conflicting information or mixed formats.
