Constructor damaged?

["Claudio E. Gaiardi" <gm.informatica@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

"Hello world" level.

 

This class prints the actual date properly:

 

import java.util.Date;
class $$Date {
   public static void main(String args[]) {
   Date d1 = new Date();
   System.out.println("La data è:" + d1);
   }

}

 

 

If I try to set the date this way:

 

import java.util.Date;
class $$Date {
   public static void main(String args[]) {
   Date d1 = new Date(99, 9, 13);
   System.out.println("La data è:" + d1);
   }

}

 

I report such error message: "The constructor called to create java.util.Date using arguments (int, int, int) is damaged"

 

I tried to reinstall the VA 2.0 Prof.Ed. CD with the encluded service pack, but result is unchanged.

 

Any help appreciated.

 

Ciao.  Gaiardi
