Well, you can use the deprecated constructor. It has been deprecated for over 13 years and still works - it isn't going anywhere. If you don't want to do that and don't want to use a third party library, you have to use Calendar.

In Java 7, hopefully there will be a new time API, and you won't have the need for a third party API anymore.
