copied!<p>You can simply remove the ".":</p> <pre><code>df2.format(new Date()).replaceAll("\\.", "")); </code></pre> <hr/> <p>Edit, regarding the <em>lemon</em> answer:</p> <p>It seems to be a problem with the formatting when using the Locale French. Thus, I suggest that you simply use the <code>.</code> removal as I explained.</p> <p>Indeed, the following code:</p> <pre><code> String format2 = "dd-MMM-yy"; Date date = Calendar.getInstance().getTime(); SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(format2, Locale.FRENCH); System.out.println(sdf.format(date)); sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(format2, Locale.ENGLISH); System.out.println(sdf.format(date)); </code></pre> <p>displays the following output:</p> <pre><code>28-oct.-09 28-Oct-09 </code></pre> <hr/> <p><em>Edit again</em></p> <p>Ok, I got your problem right now.</p> <p>I don't really know how you can solve this problem without processing your String first. The idea is to replace the month in the original String by a comprehensive month:</p> <pre><code> String[] givenMonths = { "jan", "fév", "mars", "avr.", "mai", "juin", "juil", "août", "sept", "oct", "nov", "déc" }; String[] realMonths = { "janv.", "févr.", "mars", "avr.", "mai", "juin", "juil.", "août", "sept.", "oct.", "nov.", "déc." }; String original = "09-oct-08"; for (int i = 0; i < givenMonths.length; i++) { original = original.replaceAll(givenMonths[i], realMonths[i]); } String format2 = "dd-MMM-yy"; DateFormat df2 = new SimpleDateFormat(format2, Locale.FRENCH); Date date = df2.parse(original); System.out.println("--> " + date); </code></pre> <p>I agree, this is awful, but I don't see any other solution if you use to <code>SimpleDateFormat</code> and <code>Date</code> classes.</p> <p>Another solution is to use a <strong>real</strong> date and time library instead of the original JDK ones, such as <a href="http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Joda Time</a>.</p>
