I can't understand why this few lines
Date submissionT;
SimpleDateFormat tempDate = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM d HH:mm:ss z yyyy");
public time_print(String time) {
try {
submissionT=tempDate.parse(time);
}
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.toString() + ", " + time);
}
}
Cause exceptions and print out
java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "Tue Mar 31 06:09:00 CEST 2009", Tue Mar 31 06:09:00 CEST 2009
... while the "unparsable" time is compliant with the format string i've passed to SimpleDateFormat().. Any Idea?

The parse() Method of SimpleDateFormat class is used to parse the text from a string to produce the Date. The method parses the text starting at the index given by a start position.
Class ParseExceptionSignals that an error has been reached unexpectedly while parsing. See Also: Exception , Format , FieldPosition , Serialized Form.
Java's SimpleDateFormat is not thread-safe, Use carefully in multi-threaded environments. SimpleDateFormat is used to format and parse dates in Java. You can create an instance of SimpleDateFormat with a date-time pattern like yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss , and then use that instance to format and parse dates to/from string.
SimpleDateFormat is not thread-safe in any JDK version, nor will it be as Sun have closed the bug/RFE. Only formatting is supported, but all patterns are compatible with SimpleDateFormat (except time zones - see below).
It is a Locale issue. Use:
sdf = SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM d HH:mm:ss z yyyy", Locale.US);
