Try with SimpleDateFormat to format the date object as per your need.

DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss");
System.out.println(formatter.format(new Date()));

output:

11-06-2014 21:13:49

You are getting default toString() implementation of Date object.

Find the source code here Date#toString() that uses EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy pattern.
