How do I convert a string date into the format dd/mm/yyyy?
Check the javadocs for SimpleDateFormat...

Here's a modified extract from the 1.3.1 docs:

 
// Format the current time.
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
Date currentTime_1 = new Date();
// Date for 13 Nov 2001
String dateString = "13/11/2001";

// Parse the string into a Date.
Date myDate = formatter.parse(dateString);

// If you want to format the Date -> String output...
SimpleDateFormat formatter2 = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE, d MMM yyyy");

String myDateString = formatter.format(myDate);
// Result is "Tue, 13 Nov 2001"
