    Date d1 = new Date("Mon Jun 06 00:00:00 EEST 2011");

Any suggestion? I need universal solution that will wor开发者_Python百科k with any format.

I think the next Q&A might solve your problem: Java - convert String (EEST included) into date

In short: you cannot use Date, but must use SimpleDateFormat.
