hi all,
Is it true that Vector and Hashtable are going to be deprecated in Tiger.what are the alternatives classes we need to replace the use of Vector and Hashtable with?
Thanks,

ArrayList instead of Vector, HashMap instead of Hashtable (also Iterator instead of Enumeration)

Here's a collections crib sheet that I keep around to help me pick from the new collections. I oughtta add links to the Sun Javadoc, shouldn't I? Hope it's helpful.

A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of the idea. John Ciardi

I doubt it, and I haven't heard that anywhere else. On the other hand I kind of hope it's true. Vector, Hashtable, and Enumeration have had superior replacements available for about five years now. Why anyone would still be using the legacy classes is a mystery, unless maybe you've been working with applets and need to support a Java 1.1 VM's. In which case, my condolences to you.
