When to use Date and when to use calendar?

Since both are used for data manipulations only?

You shouldn't use Date for date manipulation. Most of the methods there have already been deprecated.

Hi Jacob

If you look at the java docs it gives you quite a good explanation about the differences between the two:
Date
Calendar

Personally I wouldn't use either. Joda Time is a lot more developer friendly for any time/date manipulation you want to do.

Most of the methods there have already been deprecated.

why it is depreciated?

[Paul Sturrock]

Beause there is better support for date manipulation in the Calendar class.
