Why bother with Dates... just use Strings:

String output = input.replaceAll("(....)(..)(..)", "$3.$2.$1");

or

String output = input.replaceAll("(....)(..)(..)", "$3.$2.$1 00:00:00");

You could use SimpleDateFormat as follows

SimpleDateFormat inputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
SimpleDateFormat outputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm:ss");

Date date = inputFormat.parse("20140815");
String result = outputFormat.format(date);
