Without knowing more I'd have to guess but probably you didn't read the JavaDoc on that deprecated constructor:

year the year minus 1900.
month the month between 0-11.
date the day of the month between 1-31.

As you can see, if you want to create a date for today (Aug 5th 2015) you'd need to use new Date (115, 7, 5);

If you see that documentation you are free to guess why this is deprecated and should not be used in any new code. :)
