JAVA - Format a custom string using SimpleDateFormat : <p>I'm having trouble formatting a custom String back to a Date object. What i have:</p>

<pre><code>String customString = "October 14, 2015;

Date date = new Date();
SimpleDateFormat s = new SimpleDateFormat("MM-dd-yyyy");

try {
 date = s.parse(customString);
} catch (ParseException e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
}
</code></pre>

<p>I always get a unappeasable date exception. Any pointers of what i'm doing wrong is appreciated.</p>
