title: Converting string to date using java8
body: <p>I am trying to convert a string to date using java 8 to a certain format. Below is my code. Even after mentioning the format pattern as MM/dd/yyyy the output I am receiving is yyyy/DD/MM format. Can somebody point out what I am doing wrong? </p>
  
  <pre><code>    String str = "01/01/2015";
      DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("MM/dd/yyyy");
      LocalDate dateTime = LocalDate.parse(str, formatter);
      System.out.println(dateTime);
  </code></pre>
