Java DateTimeFormat pattern?

Question

I need help with my date format, I can't see what I am missing.

Format : EEEE d'th' 'of' MMMM yyyy hh:mm:ss a
Date : Wednesday 6th of April 2016 06:10:08 AM Tryied here and seems to work.

Does someone have any idea ?

Additional infos
- Tested with SimpleDateFormat
- Tested with Joda time (DateTimeFormat) v2.1

EDIT :
Both solutions Ihave tried are not working. Here is the stack trace

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid format: "Wednesday 6th of April 2016 06:1..."

EDIT 2 :
Unit test throwing the error :

@Test
    public void formatTest() throws ParseException {
        final DateTimeFormatter dtf = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("EEEE d'th of' MMMM yyyy hh:mm:ss a");

        dtf.parseDateTime("Wednesday 6th of April 2016 06:10:08 AM");
    }

Thanks for you help

The ... in your String means it doesn't follow your format; it stops after 1. — Elliott Frisch

How are you trying to parse that string?? I need to see the souce code! — ΦXocę 웃 Пepeúpa ツ

Also don't forget to use the correct Locale, since you're working with words and they are locale dependent. — Tom

The day/month/AM/PM marker fields may not match those of your default Locale (Looks like French)

DateTimeFormatter dtf = 
        DateTimeFormat.forPattern("EEEE d ' of ' MMMM yyyy hh:mm:ss a").withLocale(Locale.US);
