String to LocalDate

by

java.time

Since Java 1.8, you can achieve this without an extra library by using the java.time classes. See Tutorial.

DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MMM-dd");
formatter = formatter.withLocale( putAppropriateLocaleHere );  // Locale specifies human language for translating, and cultural norms for lowercase/uppercase and abbreviations and such. Example: Locale.US or Locale.CANADA_FRENCH
LocalDate date = LocalDate.parse("2005-nov-12", formatter);

The syntax is nearly the same though.
