title: SimpleDateFormat print "." for MMM format
body: <p>I am trying to convert date string from one format to another using SimpleDateFormat.
  Conversion works but there is a dot &quot;.&quot; after month.</p>
  <pre><code>    String dateStr = &quot;04/02/1987&quot;;
      DateFormat df1 = new SimpleDateFormat(&quot;dd/MM/yyyy&quot;);
      Date d = df1.parse(dateStr);
      DateFormat df2 = new SimpleDateFormat(&quot;dd MMM yyyy&quot;);
      System.out.println(df2.format(d));
  </code></pre>
  <p>Output is <strong>04 Feb. 1987</strong> instead of <strong>04 Feb 1987</strong>.</p>
