Parse Datetime to JAVA Date

Question

im getting the SQL Server datetime (1 Jan 2013) form the SqlRowSet like

while (rs.next()) {
 myBean.setDateProp(rs.getString(4));
}

the type of myBean DateProp is java.util.Date, is there a way to convert (1 Jan 2013) to java Date representation.

i have tried the following code

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss.SSS");
Date date=new Date();        
    try {
        date = sdf.parse("1 Jan 2013");           
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();

    }       

and i get the ParseException

SEVERE: java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "1 Jan 2013"

any directions...
