title: Changing String date format
body: <p>my current date format is : 
  08/11/2008 00:00</p>
  
  <p>I need to convert this output to 
  2008/11/08 00:00
  However, using the SimpleDateFormat as researched it is unable to do so and give me a totally different output, here are my codes as Follows : </p>
  
  <pre><code>SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat2 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm")
  Date starting= simpleDateFormat2.parse(startTime);
  System.out.println("" + simpleDateFormat2.format(starting) + " real date " + startTime);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>i do know that i am parsing in the right string given that the following output occurs :</p>
  
  <pre><code>0014/05/01 00:00 real date 08/11/2008 00:00
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>i am not too sure about how as to the mechanics detected  0014/05/01 00:00 instead of </p>
  
  <p>2008/11/08 00:00</p>
  
  <p>i look forward to all sugguestions 
  Thanks in advance</p>
