title: Date conversion in Java
body: <p>How can I take a <strong>string</strong> in a format such as: <code>2008-06-02 00:00:00.0</code> and convert it to: <code>02-Jun-2008</code>?</p>
  
  <p>Can I somehow take the original string, convert it to a Date object, then use a formatter to get the final output (rather than parsing the string myself)?  Thanks!</p>
