java date problem in parsing

Question

I am parsing a date, where I am passing 2011-02-10 00:00:00:0, and I am getting 2011-01-10 as the result. Is this wrong? Please help.

 DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd");
 today = df.parse(datecollection);

Answer 1

The pattern for month is MM: yyyy-MM-dd. You should read the API doc.
