Hi,

Did you try using below format 

DateFor = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMMM,yyyy");

sampl code

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Date date = new Date();
    SimpleDateFormat DateFor = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMMM,yyyy");
    String stringDate = DateFor.format(date);
    System.out.println("Date Format with dd MMMM yyyy : "+stringDate);
  }

output:

Date Format with dd MMMM yyyy : 13-January,2023

Uhm, the properties in AEM 6.x aren't an instance of java date. Although the CRX shows "Date" it is truly an instance of java calendar.

you can do this for Calendar type as well.

Calendar cal = eventDate;
java.util.Date date = cal.getTime();

SimpleDateFormat data = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMMM,yyyy");
String eventDate = "Jan 25, 2023, 2:35:00 PM";
Date date = new Date(eventDate);

String convert = data.format(date);
System.out.println("Date Format with dd MMMM yyyy : "+date);

output: 25-January, 2023.
