you can do this for Calendar type as well.

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

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.

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.
