import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;

public class StringToDateEx {

	public static void main(String[] args) {

		// if date is ISO_LOCAL_DATE format it is very straight conversion
		// means string date is in "yyyy-mm-dd" format
		String dateStr = "2015-11-18";
		LocalDate dtObj = LocalDate.parse(dateStr);
		System.out.println("Date object: "+dtObj);

		// convert it using formatter
		DateTimeFormatter dateFormatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd/MM/yyyy");
		LocalDate fdtObj = LocalDate.parse("18/11/2015", dateFormatter);
		System.out.println("Date object: "+fdtObj);

		// convert 18 Nov 2015
		DateTimeFormatter dateFormatter1 = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd MMM yyyy");
		LocalDate fdtObj1 = LocalDate.parse("18 Nov 2015", dateFormatter1);
		System.out.println("Date object: "+fdtObj1);

What is adapter class?
An adapter class provides the default implementation of all methods in an event listener interface. Adapter classes are very useful when you want to process only few of the events that are handled by a particular event listener interface. You can define a new class by extending one of the adapter classes and implement only those events relevant to you.
Famous Quotations
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
