        public static java.util.Date parse​(java.util.Date self,
                                   java.lang.String format,
                                   java.lang.String input)
                            throws java.text.ParseException
        Parse a String into a Date instance using the given pattern. This convenience method acts as a wrapper for SimpleDateFormat.

        Note that a new SimpleDateFormat instance is created for every invocation of this method (for thread safety).

        Parameters:
        self - placeholder variable used by Groovy categories; ignored for default static methods
        format - pattern used to parse the input string.
        input - String to be parsed to create the date instance
        Returns:
        a new Date instance representing the parsed input string
        Throws:
        java.text.ParseException - if there is a parse error
        Since:
