Java 6 SE are vectors obsolete?

Question

package myjava;
import java.util.*;
public class Vectors {
    public static void vec() {
        Vector v = new Vector();
    }
}

I am using net beans IDE 6.9.1 and it tells me it is an "Obsolete Collection". Besides the obvious thats it's obsolete will I ever use it in Java? I was really excited about using them..

Answer 1

Use of Vectors have been discouraged for some time now. They are replaced by ArrayList, which has more or less the same functionality (but isn't synchronised).
