It'll give what you want, why is it not working at your end:

    Date date = new Date();
    SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("EEEEEEEEEE dd MMMM yyyy") ;
    System.out.println(format.format(date));

"Wednesday 15 May 2013"

Four times E is enough:

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE dd MMMM yyyy");

Where EEEE is the day of week long.

From Javadoc if the number of pattern letters is 4 or more, a calendar specific long form is used
