I believe that Jian deserves a better answer.
Jian, a deprecated method is like a "marked" method that means that's something
wrong with it implementation. Often people find bugs in methods that are
reported to Sun. If they consider that there is a bug the fix the problem and
mark the old method like deprecated just to keep compability with software
writted with older version of JDK. Sometimes there is no need to find a bug,
just a better way to do something to mark a method as deprecated. Ted is right
when he says that someday this method will be removed so be careful when use
them. Always is better to use the "new one". Look at javadocs beacause usually
the "better ways" are documented there.

Easy: don't use that method. It's deprecated because Sun plans on removing
it from the API someday.
