creating Date objects

[jimgardener]

for running a sample program in sun's java tutorial(Employee program
in Comparators section of object ordering) i need to create some Date
objects with diff values for year ,month,day etc.Since Date(int year,
int month,int day) is deprecated i can't use new Date(2001,02,23) to
create a Date instance.How should i go about this?.can someone help?

read the rest of the

Javadoc for the deprecated constructor, the part that begins
"replaced by ..."

sorry Eric...I need Date objects. i can't figure out how to get that
from a Calendar instance..

Date itself is pretty well deprecated. The tutorial is probably old,
so just go ahead and use new Date.

Doesn't Calendar's getTime() return a Date?

Date is still absolutely necessary.

Only the stuff replaced by (Gregorian)Calendar is deprecated.
