For my use case, I had more luck with chrono-java - sadly it looks stale and is not available in any Maven repository (also not via https://jitpack.io/ since the build is broken), so you have to fix and build it for yourself.

However, checking out the code and fixing a dependency (maven-javadoc-plugin was missing groupId and I updated the version), allowed me to build and run a simple example successfully:

List results = Chrono.Parse("Datum  Freitag, 08.04. bis einschl. Sonntag 10.04.2016");
    results.forEach(result -> System.out.println(result));

resulted in 2 Dates being extracted:

ParsedResult: " 08.04" > 04/08/2018 12:00
ParsedResult: "10.04.2016" > 04/10/2016 12:00
