I'm making a clock application, and I need to get String or integer
representations of the current system time hours and minutes.

The Date class is depricated and replaced with GregorianCalendar. But
GregorianCalendar.getTime() returns a Date object.

Ummm....?

What are the best methods for retrieving the date and parsing the result?

Thanks.
