Hello welcome to the forums. May I ask what are you trying to perform with java action. Looks like a app but you can explain what are you performing

Hi BRAINZ2013,
Thanks or replying. I am trying to convert date string from one format to other.
2014-08-20 => EEE, d MMM yyyy format.

String scurrentdate;
SimpleDateFormat formatter;
Date date = new Date();
formatter = new SimpleDateFormat(
"EEE, d MMM yyyy",Locale.UK);
scurrentdate = formatter.format(date);
