I’m new to this Java thing and I’m a little unclear on how I would write my own DateFormat subclass if Date is (mostly?) deprecated.

  1. Should I be using Date or Calendar?
  2. If Calendar across the board, what class replaces DateFormat?

    Firstly java.text.DateFormat class is not deprecated, you use java.util.Date class as a bridge to format a java.util.Calendar object using java.text.DateFormat class. 

    java.text.DateFormat---> use this class to format dates.
java.util.Calendar  ---> use this class to perform date related operations.
