Its very easy in java to convert String to Date.
Java provides SimpleDateFormat to handle Date related functionality.
Here we call parse() method of SimpleDateFormat.
Example
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat; 
import java.util.Date; 
public class ChangeStringDate { 
public static void main(String[] args)throws Exception { 
    String stringDate="17/10/2015"; 
    Date dateForm=new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy").parse(stringDate); 
    System.out.println(stringDate+"\t"+dateForm); 
} 
} 
Output:
17/10/2015    Sat Oct 31 00:00:00 IST 2015
