Need help with Dates

I am trying to take the users input, parse it, and the do certain things based on the Julian date of the day given(Julian = day of year).

Date has been depreciated for Java2, but the parse() method for SimpleDateFormat(or DateFormat for that matter) still returns a Date type.

This works and is not a dire problem, but I hate getting those "GetDayOfYear.java uses or overrides a deprecated API. Recompile..."
Any ideas?


SimpleDateFormat std2yr = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yy");
SimpleDateFormat std4yr = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
SimpleDateFormat txt2yr = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM-dd-yy");
SimpleDateFormat txt4yr = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM-dd-yyyy");
String atp = args[0];
Date d = new Date();
boolean SuccessfulParse = false;

try
{
d = std2yr.parse(atp);
SuccessfulParse = true;
}
