I like more doing it like this:

String dateString = "22/11/1982";
DateFormat dF = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT);
Date date = dF.parse(dateString);

You are passing date in this format 02/15/2012 so you need to do this 

formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");

if you are passing date in this format 02-15-2012 then you have to do this

formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM-dd-yyyy");

above will not gives you any error.

formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");

That is the code for you. You are defining the wrong "pattern" in your code. How should the parser parse the date 22/05/2012 if you tell him "Hey the date I will give you has the pattern of yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:SSSS" ?

The formatting is wrong, even the answers here are wrong.

Your date starts with MM/dd/yyyy pattern so change your format to:

formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");

The reason why it can't be dd/MM/yyyy is because you can't have a month of 15 (there's only 12 months in a year).
