[yc lim]

hi all, i get the deprecated message while using the java.util.Date setYear, setDate etc methods. i don't understand whats wrong with using this setters, and whats the alternative for that. thanks ~

They now want you to use a java.util.Calendar object, and use the set() method for this:

     Calendar c = new Calendar();
     c.set(Calendar.MONTH, Calendar.MARCH);
     c.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 20);
     c.set(Calendar.YEAR, 2003);
