String ds = "Thu Jun 07 13:01:59 IST 2007";
SimpleDateFormat f = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy");
Date d = f.parse(ds);

As others mentioned, the answer is in the docs.

You should use HH, not hh.

You can use DateFormat:

DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("E M d HH:mm:ss z yyyy");
Date date = dateFormat.parse("Thu Jun 07 13:01:59 IST 2007");

-1 for using F. Should be E.
Should be yyyy, not YYYY. This will throw an exception.

First, create a date and time pattern string as specified in the SimpleDateFormat javadocs and then call parse to convert the string to a Date object.

Use SimpleDateFormat. Something like this:

DateFormat fmt = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM d hh:mm:ss Z yyyy");
Date date = fmt.parse(str);
