A Warning !??

[vikas de]

hi guys,
JPasswordField userPassword=new JPasswordField(10);
userPassword="pw";
String test=userPassword.getText().trim();
i am using the above statements and while compiling it displays the following warning.
Note: pro.java uses or overrides a deprecated API.
Note: Recompile with -deprecation for details.
and if i recompile with -deprecation it displays the following warning.
pro.java:597: warning: getText() in javax.swing.JPasswordField has been deprecated

String test=userPassword.getText().trim();
^
please tell me how to remove this warning !!!
Thanx
vikas

??? How can this possibly compile at all? On the second line, you're attempting to assign a String to a JPasswordField. Surely the compiler will report that error before informing you of deprecated methods. As for the latter, it's a simple matter to consult the API for inormation about the deprecated method, and a suggestion about what to replace it with. Always consult the API.

You can use:
String myString = new String(passwordField.getPassword());
since that return an array of chars.
