Java8 parse string to LocalDateTime 2018-11-18 20:18
SimpleDateFormat is the only choice when you want to parse String to Date before Java8. But, SimpleDateFormat is unthread-safe class. You may get the wrong result when you use it in multi-thread scenario. I recommend you use DateTimeFormatter to handle date string.
public class ParseStringToLocalDateTime {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String timestampStringUS = "Mon Nov 12 18:43:41 +0800 2018";
String timestampStringCh = "星期一 十一月 12 18:43:41 +0800 2018";
DateTimeFormatter formatterUS = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss XXXX yyyy", Locale.US);
DateTimeFormatter formatterCH = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss XXXX yyyy", Locale.CHINESE);
LocalDateTime dateTime1 = LocalDateTime.parse(timestampStringCh, formatterCH);
LocalDateTime dateTime2 = LocalDateTime.parse(timestampStringUS, formatterUS);
System.out.println(dateTime1);
System.out.println(dateTime2);
}
}
The out put is here.

You need to define the language which the string use as shown in the code above. DateTimeFormatter ofPattern(String pattern, Locale locale) the second param means where this date time to use.
