The pattern is "dd-MM-yyyy"

I think the string "01-01-2010mwwwwwwwwwwwwwww" does not satisfy the pattern, but the following code shows the contrary.

Anyone can explain why?

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

    SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");

    Date date = df.parse("01-01-2010mwwwwwwwwwwwwwww");

    System.out.println(date);
}

Thanks
