convert string, with day of week to timestamp

Are there any ways to convert "Wed, 30 Nov 2011 09:13:00" to a timestamp besides programatically coding it yourself? Like any libraries/functions that can help accomplish this?

thanks

Something like:

String dateStr = "Wed, 30 Nov 2011 09:13:00"; DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE, d MMMMM yyyy HH:mm:ss");

formatter.parse(dateStr);

Use JODA Time. It has format building capabilities for parsing dates and time.

Try JodaTime, more powerful and flexible than JDK

SimpleDateFormat is your friend in this case

Remember that Date.getTime() returns miliseconds since the beginning of unix time.
