Java @Deprecated Example
@Deprecated
@Deprecated annotation indicates that the marked element is deprecated and should no longer be used. The compiler generates a warning whenever a program uses a method, class, or field with the @Deprecated annotation. When an element is deprecated, it should also be documented using the Javadoc @deprecated tag, as shown in the following example. The use of the at sign (@) in both Javadoc comments and in annotations is not coincidental: they are related conceptually. Also, note that the Javadoc tag starts with a lowercase d and the annotation starts with an uppercase D.// Javadoc comment follows
/**
* @deprecated
* explanation of why it was deprecated
*/
@Deprecated
static void deprecatedMethod() { }
}
