Help with Set commands in Date method

[ob1kanobee]

Since switching over to netbeans 5.0, I am getting a warning message that the 3 set commands below in java.util.Date have been deprecated.
The class still compiles. Have these set commands changed?
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
date in bold below is a variable being passed to the method using this.


Date beginDate = new Date(date.getTime());
beginDate.setHours(0);
beginDate.setMinutes(0);
beginDate.setSeconds(0);

Hi

java.util.Date have been deprecated.
The class still compiles.

Deprecated means the class/method will not compile in a future version. Classes/methods which does not compile now, are called unsupported.

Sun encourages the use of [tt]Calendar[/tt] class for such date/time manipulations.

Thanks feherke for the info. It compiles, but with a nasty message.
