Be aware that the unix epoch time is defined in seconds, not milliseconds. Following that I improved blackbelts's answer:

SimpleDateFormat pattern = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE, dd MM yyyy HH:mm:ss");
Date date = pattern.parse("Fri, 12 Dec 2008 13:20:41")
long milliseconds = date.getTime();
long unixEpochTime = milliseconds / 1000;
