title: Parsing zero-based month strings in java
body: <p>I am trying to parse a String that looks like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>2015, 2, 31, 17, 0, 1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>so i figured I'll use</p>
  
  <pre><code>SimpleDateFormat("yyyy, MM, dd, hh, mm, ss")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but it assumed the months are 1-based. In this case the month (2) is March. How can i tell SimpleDateFormat or any other class to parse with zero-based months?</p>
