Java String to Date Conversion throws Unparseable date
<p>I'm trying to convert following text to Date but not able to get it to parse correctly.</p>

<pre><code>String strDate = "Tue Mar 13 12:00:00 EST 2012";
try{
    SimpleDateFormat sd = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
    //also tried SimpleDateFormat sd = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm");
    //as well as sd.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getDefault());
    Date date = sd.parse(strDate);
}catch(Exception e)
{
    e.printStack();
    //fails with java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "Tue Mar 13 12:00:00 EST 2012"
}
</code></pre>

<p>what am i doing wrong? </p>
