The trick that you may have missed is that you must set the locale because "Tue" or "Jun" can only be understood in English.

This works :

        SimpleDateFormat ft = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss z yyyy", Locale.ENGLISH);
        Date dt = ft.parse("Tue Jun 05 00:00:00 GMT+05:30 2012");
