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?

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?

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