Strange behaviour of java.text.DateFormat

[Chaitanya Brahma]

Hi Ranchers,

I have come across a real strange behavior of the class java.text.DateFormat. The code listed below executes properly on one Eclipse environment but gives "java.text.ParseException: Unparsable date" on another one!

Can anyone please throw some light as to what could be the possible issue here?

Thanks a ton in advance!

The code in question is as listed below -

   
package org.remede.ActivityTracker.test;

import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.ParseException;

//import java.util.Calendar;

public class Test {

	/**
	 * @param args
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) {
//		Double db = new Double(1);
		
		String dtstring = "JUNE 10, 2009";
		DateFormat format = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.MEDIUM);
		java.util.Date dt;
		try {
			dt = format.parse(dtstring);
			System.out.println("date: " + dt);
		} catch (ParseException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}

}

Exception I get :

    
java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "JUNE 10, 2009"
	at java.text.DateFormat.parse(DateFormat.java:337)
	at org.remede.ActivityTracker.test.Test.main(Test.java:20)
