You should make the SimpleDateFormat object parse( ... ), not format( ... ); it parses Strings and format Dates.

the problem is the T in the String dd, even with parse. to get around i used dd.replaceFirst("T", " ") and the output was "Fri Oct 20 13:50:00 CEST 2006"

No, note the single quotes around the capital T in the format String.

ok, if the T is omitted, you can simply use

		String dd = "2006-10-20 1350";
		DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HHmm"); 
		Date date = (Date)formatter.parse(dd);

Double post locked. OP, please do not double post the same question in multiple fora.

That 'T' is not the problem, it is properly quoted; the OP needed to parse( ... ) the String, not format( ... ) the String.
