title: display Java.util.Date in a specific format
body: <p>I have the following scenario :</p>
  
  <pre><code>SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
  System.out.println(dateFormat.parse("31/05/2011"));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>gives an output </p>
  
  <pre><code>Tue May 31 00:00:00 SGT 2011
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I want the output to be </p>
  
  <pre><code>31/05/2011 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I need to use parse here because the dates need to be sorted as Dates and not as String.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas ??</p>
