Thread: NoSuchMethod error while running and deprecation warning messages while comilation of Date program

We were given the following code and asked to create a class named Date, a boolean method called isBirthday and a method called getZociacSign. All of my code is commented out at the bottom. I've also commented some statements in the given code. When I compile this I get deprecation warning messages from the Date calls. When I try to run it i get a NoSuchMethod error. Also will the Date class I create conflict with the Date class in the java.util package? I really want to get this to work so I can test my code. Thanks for the help.

Try using

this.Date

to access the date class

Thank you both again. I played around with it some more and added (String arg[]) peramaters to main which got rid of the no such method error. When I actually implemented my Date class the Date warnings went away, so I guess I found out that a class in the program will take precedence over a library class. Thanks again.
