I have a string in the following format.

07/06/2011 5:06
mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm

am using following code

DateFormat dateFormater = new SimpleDateFormat("mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm");
date = (Date)dateFormater.parse(dateTimeStr);


but for input = 03/05/2011 9:45
i get op = Wed Jan 05 09:45:00 IST 2011 

Why so?I gave month as march but i am getting jan as month

Whats the issue with my code?

You need to change the format to MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm ref: http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html

Months use capital M - MM/dd/yyyy - check the docs

---

You're aware that month is an uppercase M, right?

Try this one: MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm mm stands for minute in hour. But you need MM which stands for Month in year.
