warning: [deprecation] in java.util.Date(java.lang.String) has been deprecated
 

Dear Java Programmers,

When compiling my Java program I get the following warning:
"warning: [deprecation] in java.util.Date(java.lang.String) has been
deprecated" on for example this statement:
new Date("09/23/2003")
The code is used to generate the dates on a webpage. Depending on the
language of the webpage
the generated format is different. For example English (see "Date" and
"Choose publication" on the page opened):
http://home.scarlet.be/kenya-belgium...day_party.html

French:
http://home.scarlet.be/kenya-belgium/liste_5_fr/une_fete_d'anniversaire_kenyanne_et_une_fete_d'ann iversaire_belge.html
s
Should I use another class in stead of Date? If yes, which one?

Best regards,

BoBi

Yes.

Mentioned in the JavaDocs* for the constructor(s) of Date.

You can use java.util.Calendar or java.text.SimpleDateFormat depends
from your preference

Hi,

Thanks both of you. I'll be checking your suggestions out for solving
