Try:

java.sql.Date date = new java.sql.Date(2001 - 1900, 10, 10);

See java.sql.Date which says:

year - the year minus 1900; must be 0 to 8099. (Note that 8099 is 9999 minus 1900.)

That constructor is deprecated. You should prefer to use the other java.sql.Date constructor.

This is from the docs for java.sql.Date

year - the year minus 1900; must be 0 to 8099. (Note that 8099 is 9999 minus 1900.)
month - 0 to 11
day - 1 to 31

Also this constructor is deprecated. The year value is added tp 1900

First, that constructor is deprecated, you shouldn't use it.

Second, the JavaDoc mentions:

Parameters:
    year - the year minus 1900; must be 0 to 8099. 
    (Note that 8099 is 9999 minus 1900.)

So according to the docs, you did specify the year 2001 + 1900 which is 3901 :-)
