calendar.setTime(date)

Hi all, I want to get the hour of day in 24hour cycle. I know that date.getHours() is depreciated. But I'm tempted to use it since I can not get the same result out of calendar.hour call.
It seems call calendar.setTime(now) does not pick up the current date value. Anybody knows what's going on here? I have the following:

Date now = new Date();
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
c.setTime(now);
System.out.println("hour: "+Math.abs(c.HOUR - 24)+", mins: "+Math.abs(c.MINUTE-60)+", now.h: "+now.getHours() +", now.m: "+now.getMinutes());

Values such as c.HOUR do not return the hour of the date. They are constants used with the API to identify date fields.

Consider: c.get(Calendar.HOUR)
