Use methods in the java.util.Calendar class.

After reading the 1.4 API docs it seems to me that before() and after() are still the best methods for comparing date objects. Why then would they be deprecated?
I still have a limited understanding of deprecated methods so I'm sure I'm just missing something here
Thanks!

before/after of the date class are deprecated. There is still before/after for the Calendar class
