title: Parse RSS pubDate to Date object in java
body: <p>How can I parse a pubDate from a RSS feed to a Date object in java.</p>
  
  <p>The format in the RSS feed:
  Sat, 24 Apr 2010 14:01:00 GMT</p>
  
  <p>What I have at the moment:</p>
  
  <pre><code>DateFormat dateFormat = DateFormat.getInstance();
  Date pubDate = dateFormat.parse(item.getPubDate().getText());
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But this code throws an ParseException with the message Unparseable date </p>
