really dumb problem

[Leonig Mig]

i'm using eclipse, coding a servlet.

at the top of the page I am importing like:

java.util.Date;

but eclipse shows as illegal (systax error or what):

Date wooyay = new Date();

why can it be?

the javadoc says it is legal?

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/ap...te.html#Date()

but "the constructor Date() is undefined"

[Leonig Mig]

ahh ok Date() has been depricated in v 1.4.2



but how do you instantiate an object with the date at the moment then?

[Leonig Mig]

arrgh not even right.

there is sql.Date and util.Date.

I had put sql.Date.


eh? eclipse maybe?

YAY IT WORKS

Date itself is not deprecated, but most of its methods are:
