java.awt.color.ICC_Profile.finalize()	The finalize method has been deprecated. Subclasses that override finalize in order to perform cleanup should be modified to use alternative cleanup mechanisms and to remove the overriding finalize method. When overriding the finalize method, its implementation must explicitly ensure that super.finalize() is invoked as described in Object.finalize(). See the specification for Object.finalize() for further information about migration options.
java.awt.image.ColorModel.finalize()	The finalize method has been deprecated. Subclasses that override finalize in order to perform cleanup should be modified to use alternative cleanup mechanisms and to remove the overriding finalize method. When overriding the finalize method, its implementation must explicitly ensure that super.finalize() is invoked as described in Object.finalize(). See the specification for Object.finalize() for further information about migration options.
java.awt.image.IndexColorModel.finalize()	The finalize method has been deprecated. Subclasses that override finalize in order to perform cleanup should be modified to use alternative cleanup mechanisms and to remove the overriding finalize method. When overriding the finalize method, its implementation must explicitly ensure that super.finalize() is invoked as described in Object.finalize(). See the specification for Object.finalize() for further information about migration options.
java.lang.Boolean(boolean)	It is rarely appropriate to use this constructor. The static factory Boolean.valueOf(boolean) is generally a better choice, as it is likely to yield significantly better space and time performance. Also consider using the final fields Boolean.TRUE and Boolean.FALSE if possible.
java.lang.Boolean(String)	It is rarely appropriate to use this constructor. Use Boolean.parseBoolean(String) to convert a string to a boolean primitive, or use Boolean.valueOf(String) to convert a string to a Boolean object.
java.lang.Byte(byte)	It is rarely appropriate to use this constructor. The static factory Byte.valueOf(byte) is generally a better choice, as it is likely to yield significantly better space and time performance.
java.lang.Byte(String)	It is rarely appropriate to use this constructor. Use Byte.parseByte(String) to convert a string to a byte primitive, or use Byte.valueOf(String) to convert a string to a Byte object.
java.lang.Character(char)	It is rarely appropriate to use this constructor. The static factory Character.valueOf(char) is generally a better choice, as it is likely to yield significantly better space and time performance.
java.lang.Compiler	JIT compilers and their technologies vary too widely to be controlled effectively by a standardized interface. As such, many JIT compiler implementations ignore this interface, and are instead controllable by implementation-specific mechanisms such as command-line options. This class is subject to removal in a future version of Java SE.
java.lang.Double(double)	It is rarely appropriate to use this constructor. The static factory Double.valueOf(double) is generally a better choice, as it is likely to yield significantly better space and time performance.
java.lang.Double(String)	It is rarely appropriate to use this constructor. Use Double.parseDouble(String) to convert a string to a double primitive, or use Double.valueOf(String) to convert a string to a Double object.
java.lang.Float(double)	It is rarely appropriate to use this constructor. Instead, use the static factory method Float.valueOf(float) method as follows: Float.valueOf((float)value).
java.lang.Float(float)	It is rarely appropriate to use this constructor. The static factory Float.valueOf(float) is generally a better choice, as it is likely to yield significantly better space and time performance.
java.lang.Float(String)	It is rarely appropriate to use this constructor. Use Float.parseFloat(String) to convert a string to a float primitive, or use Float.valueOf(String) to convert a string to a Float object.
java.lang.Integer(int)	It is rarely appropriate to use this constructor. The static factory Integer.valueOf(int) is generally a better choice, as it is likely to yield significantly better space and time performance.
java.lang.Integer(String)	It is rarely appropriate to use this constructor. Use Integer.parseInt(String) to convert a string to a int primitive, or use Integer.valueOf(String) to convert a string to an Integer object.
java.lang.Long(long)	It is rarely appropriate to use this constructor. The static factory Long.valueOf(long) is generally a better choice, as it is likely to yield significantly better space and time performance.
java.lang.Long(String)	It is rarely appropriate to use this constructor. Use Long.parseLong(String) to convert a string to a long primitive, or use Long.valueOf(String) to convert a string to a Long object.
java.lang.Short(short)	It is rarely appropriate to use this constructor. The static factory Short.valueOf(short) is generally a better choice, as it is likely to yield significantly better space and time performance.
java.lang.Short(String)	It is rarely appropriate to use this constructor. Use Short.parseShort(String) to convert a string to a short primitive, or use Short.valueOf(String) to convert a string to a Short object.
java.lang.Thread.countStackFrames()	This method was originally designed to count the number of stack frames but the results were never well-defined and it depended on thread-suspension. This method is subject to removal in a future version of Java SE.
java.lang.Thread.resume()	This method exists solely for use with Thread.suspend(), which has been deprecated because it is deadlock-prone. For more information, see Why are Thread.stop, Thread.suspend and Thread.resume Deprecated?.
java.lang.Thread.suspend()	This method has been deprecated, as it is inherently deadlock-prone. If the target thread holds a lock on the monitor protecting a critical system resource when it is suspended, no thread can access this resource until the target thread is resumed. If the thread that would resume the target thread attempts to lock this monitor prior to calling resume, deadlock results. Such deadlocks typically manifest themselves as "frozen" processes. For more information, see Why are Thread.stop, Thread.suspend and Thread.resume Deprecated?.
java.lang.ThreadGroup.allowThreadSuspension(boolean)	The definition of this call depends on ThreadGroup.suspend(), which is deprecated. Further, the behavior of this call was never specified.
java.lang.ThreadGroup.destroy()	The API and mechanism for destroying a ThreadGroup is inherently flawed. The ability to explicitly or automatically destroy a thread group will be removed in a future release.
java.lang.ThreadGroup.isDaemon()	The API and mechanism for destroying a ThreadGroup is inherently flawed. The ability to explicitly or automatically destroy a thread group, and the concept of daemon thread group, will be removed in a future release.
java.lang.ThreadGroup.isDestroyed()	The API and mechanism for destroying a ThreadGroup is inherently flawed. The ability to explicitly or automatically destroy a thread group will be removed in a future release.
java.lang.ThreadGroup.resume()	This method is used solely in conjunction with Thread.suspend and ThreadGroup.suspend, both of which have been deprecated, as they are inherently deadlock-prone. See Thread.suspend() for details.
java.lang.ThreadGroup.setDaemon(boolean)	The API and mechanism for destroying a ThreadGroup is inherently flawed. The ability to explicitly or automatically destroy a thread group, and the concept of daemon thread group, will be removed in a future release.
java.lang.ThreadGroup.stop()	This method is inherently unsafe. See Thread.stop() for details.
java.lang.ThreadGroup.suspend()	This method is inherently deadlock-prone. See Thread.suspend() for details.

java.applet.Applet	The Applet API is deprecated, no replacement.
java.awt.Event	It is recommended that AWTEvent and its subclasses be used instead
java.io.LineNumberInputStream	This class incorrectly assumes that bytes adequately represent characters. As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to operate on character streams is via the new character-stream classes, which include a class for counting line numbers.
java.io.StringBufferInputStream	This class does not properly convert characters into bytes. As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to create a stream from a string is via the StringReader class.
java.lang.Compiler	JIT compilers and their technologies vary too widely to be controlled effectively by a standardized interface. As such, many JIT compiler implementations ignore this interface, and are instead controllable by implementation-specific mechanisms such as command-line options. This class is subject to removal in a future version of Java SE.
java.rmi.activation.Activatable	See the java.rmi.activation package specification for further information.

The field must be initialized by the Logger class initialization which may cause deadlocks with the LogManager class initialization. In such cases two class initialization wait for each other to complete. The preferred way to get the global logger object is via the call Logger.getGlobal(). For compatibility with old JDK versions where the Logger.getGlobal() is not available use the call Logger.getLogger(Logger.GLOBAL_LOGGER_NAME) or Logger.getLogger("global").

Currently any applet properties that need to be passed to an initial context should be copied into the environment hashtable: Hashtable env = new Hashtable(); env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, ((Applet) this).getParameter(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY)); env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, ((Applet) this).getParameter(Context.PROVIDER_URL)); // ... other properties ... Context ctx = new InitialContext(env);
javax.naming.directory.Attribute.serialVersionUID	A serialVersionUID field in an interface is ineffectual. Do not use; no replacement.

java.awt.Window.show()	As of JDK version 1.5, replaced by Window.setVisible(boolean).
java.beans.Beans.instantiate(ClassLoader, String, BeanContext, AppletInitializer)	It is recommended to use Beans.instantiate(ClassLoader, String, BeanContext), because the Applet API is deprecated. See the java.applet package documentation for further information.
java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream.toString(int)	This method does not properly convert bytes into characters. As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to do this is via the ByteArrayOutputStream.toString(String charsetName) or ByteArrayOutputStream.toString(Charset charset) method, which takes an encoding-name or charset argument, or the toString() method, which uses the platform's default character encoding.
java.io.DataInputStream.readLine()	This method does not properly convert bytes to characters. As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to read lines of text is via the BufferedReader.readLine() method. Programs that use the DataInputStream class to read lines can be converted to use the BufferedReader class by replacing code of the form: DataInputStream d = new DataInputStream(in); with: BufferedReader d = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
java.io.File.toURL()	This method does not automatically escape characters that are illegal in URLs. It is recommended that new code convert an abstract pathname into a URL by first converting it into a URI, via the toURI method, and then converting the URI into a URL via the URI.toURL method.
java.io.ObjectInputStream.readLine()	This method does not properly convert bytes to characters. see DataInputStream for the details and alternatives.
java.io.ObjectOutputStream.PutField.write(ObjectOutput)	This method does not write the values contained by this PutField object in a proper format, and may result in corruption of the serialization stream. The correct way to write PutField data is by calling the ObjectOutputStream.writeFields() method.
java.lang.Character.isJavaLetter(char)	Replaced by isJavaIdentifierStart(char).
java.lang.Character.isJavaLetterOrDigit(char)	Replaced by isJavaIdentifierPart(char).
java.lang.Character.isSpace(char)	Replaced by isWhitespace(char).
java.lang.Class.newInstance()	This method propagates any exception thrown by the nullary constructor, including a checked exception. Use of this method effectively bypasses the compile-time exception checking that would otherwise be performed by the compiler. The Constructor.newInstance method avoids this problem by wrapping any exception thrown by the constructor in a (checked) InvocationTargetException. The call clazz.newInstance() can be replaced by clazz.getDeclaredConstructor().newInstance() The latter sequence of calls is inferred to be able to throw the additional exception types InvocationTargetException and NoSuchMethodException. Both of these exception types are subclasses of ReflectiveOperationException.
java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(byte[], int, int)	Replaced by defineClass(String, byte[], int, int)
java.lang.ClassLoader.getPackage(String)	If multiple class loaders delegate to each other and define classes with the same package name, and one such loader relies on the lookup behavior of getPackage to return a Package from a parent loader, then the properties exposed by the Package may not be as expected in the rest of the program. For example, the Package will only expose annotations from the package-info.class file defined by the parent loader, even if annotations exist in a package-info.class file defined by a child loader. A more robust approach is to use the ClassLoader.getDefinedPackage(java.lang.String) method which returns a Package for the specified class loader.
java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.Lookup.hasPrivateAccess()	This method was originally designed to test PRIVATE access that implies full privilege access but MODULE access has since become independent of PRIVATE access. It is recommended to call MethodHandles.Lookup.hasFullPrivilegeAccess() instead.
java.lang.Object.finalize()	The finalization mechanism is inherently problematic. Finalization can lead to performance issues, deadlocks, and hangs. Errors in finalizers can lead to resource leaks; there is no way to cancel finalization if it is no longer necessary; and no ordering is specified among calls to finalize methods of different objects. Furthermore, there are no guarantees regarding the timing of finalization. The finalize method might be called on a finalizable object only after an indefinite delay, if at all. Classes whose instances hold non-heap resources should provide a method to enable explicit release of those resources, and they should also implement AutoCloseable if appropriate. The Cleaner and PhantomReference provide more flexible and efficient ways to release resources when an object becomes unreachable.
java.lang.Package.getPackage(String)	If multiple class loaders delegate to each other and define classes with the same package name, and one such loader relies on the lookup behavior of getPackage to return a Package from a parent loader, then the properties exposed by the Package may not be as expected in the rest of the program. For example, the Package will only expose annotations from the package-info.class file defined by the parent loader, even if annotations exist in a package-info.class file defined by a child loader. A more robust approach is to use the ClassLoader.getDefinedPackage(java.lang.String) method which returns a Package for the specified class loader.
java.lang.ref.Reference.isEnqueued()	This method was originally specified to test if a reference object has been cleared and enqueued but was never implemented to do this test. This method could be misused due to the inherent race condition or without an associated ReferenceQueue. An application relying on this method to release critical resources could cause serious performance issue. An application should use ReferenceQueue to reliably determine what reference objects that have been enqueued or refersTo(null) to determine if this reference object has been cleared.
java.lang.reflect.AccessibleObject.isAccessible()	This method is deprecated because its name hints that it checks if the reflected object is accessible when it actually indicates if the checks for Java language access control are suppressed. This method may return false on a reflected object that is accessible to the caller. To test if this reflected object is accessible, it should use AccessibleObject.canAccess(Object).
java.lang.reflect.Proxy.getProxyClass(ClassLoader, Class<?>...)	Proxy classes generated in a named module are encapsulated and not accessible to code outside its module. Constructor.newInstance will throw IllegalAccessException when it is called on an inaccessible proxy class. Use Proxy.newProxyInstance(ClassLoader, Class[], InvocationHandler) to create a proxy instance instead.
java.lang.Runtime.Version.major()	As of Java SE 10, the first element of a version number is not the major-release number but the feature-release counter, incremented for every time-based release. Use the Runtime.Version.feature() method in preference to this method. For compatibility, this method returns the value of the feature element.
java.lang.Runtime.Version.minor()	As of Java SE 10, the second element of a version number is not the minor-release number but the interim-release counter, incremented for every interim release. Use the Runtime.Version.interim() method in preference to this method. For compatibility, this method returns the value of the interim element, or zero if it is absent.
java.lang.Runtime.Version.security()	As of Java SE 10, the third element of a version number is not the security level but the update-release counter, incremented for every update release. Use the Runtime.Version.update() method in preference to this method. For compatibility, this method returns the value of the update element, or zero if it is absent.
java.lang.SecurityManager.checkMulticast(InetAddress, byte)	Use #checkPermission(java.security.Permission) instead
java.lang.String.getBytes(int, int, byte[], int)	This method does not properly convert characters into bytes. As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to do this is via the String.getBytes() method, which uses the platform's default charset.
java.lang.Thread.countStackFrames()	This method was originally designed to count the number of stack frames but the results were never well-defined and it depended on thread-suspension. This method is subject to removal in a future version of Java SE.
java.lang.Thread.resume()	This method exists solely for use with Thread.suspend(), which has been deprecated because it is deadlock-prone. For more information, see Why are Thread.stop, Thread.suspend and Thread.resume Deprecated?.
java.lang.Thread.stop()	This method is inherently unsafe. Stopping a thread with Thread.stop causes it to unlock all of the monitors that it has locked (as a natural consequence of the unchecked ThreadDeath exception propagating up the stack). If any of the objects previously protected by these monitors were in an inconsistent state, the damaged objects become visible to other threads, potentially resulting in arbitrary behavior. Many uses of stop should be replaced by code that simply modifies some variable to indicate that the target thread should stop running. The target thread should check this variable regularly, and return from its run method in an orderly fashion if the variable indicates that it is to stop running. If the target thread waits for long periods (on a condition variable, for example), the interrupt method should be used to interrupt the wait. For more information, see Why are Thread.stop, Thread.suspend and Thread.resume Deprecated?.
java.lang.Thread.suspend()	This method has been deprecated, as it is inherently deadlock-prone. If the target thread holds a lock on the monitor protecting a critical system resource when it is suspended, no thread can access this resource until the target thread is resumed. If the thread that would resume the target thread attempts to lock this monitor prior to calling resume, deadlock results. Such deadlocks typically manifest themselves as "frozen" processes. For more information, see Why are Thread.stop, Thread.suspend and Thread.resume Deprecated?.
java.lang.ThreadGroup.allowThreadSuspension(boolean)	The definition of this call depends on ThreadGroup.suspend(), which is deprecated. Further, the behavior of this call was never specified.
java.lang.ThreadGroup.destroy()	The API and mechanism for destroying a ThreadGroup is inherently flawed. The ability to explicitly or automatically destroy a thread group will be removed in a future release.
java.lang.ThreadGroup.isDaemon()	The API and mechanism for destroying a ThreadGroup is inherently flawed. The ability to explicitly or automatically destroy a thread group, and the concept of daemon thread group, will be removed in a future release.
java.lang.ThreadGroup.isDestroyed()	The API and mechanism for destroying a ThreadGroup is inherently flawed. The ability to explicitly or automatically destroy a thread group will be removed in a future release.
java.lang.ThreadGroup.resume()	This method is used solely in conjunction with Thread.suspend and ThreadGroup.suspend, both of which have been deprecated, as they are inherently deadlock-prone. See Thread.suspend() for details.
java.lang.ThreadGroup.setDaemon(boolean)	The API and mechanism for destroying a ThreadGroup is inherently flawed. The ability to explicitly or automatically destroy a thread group, and the concept of daemon thread group, will be removed in a future release.
java.lang.ThreadGroup.stop()	This method is inherently unsafe. See Thread.stop() for details.
java.lang.ThreadGroup.suspend()	This method is inherently deadlock-prone. See Thread.suspend() for details.
java.math.BigDecimal.divide(BigDecimal, int)	The method BigDecimal.divide(BigDecimal, RoundingMode) should be used in preference to this legacy method.
java.math.BigDecimal.divide(BigDecimal, int, int)	The method BigDecimal.divide(BigDecimal, int, RoundingMode) should be used in preference to this legacy method.
java.math.BigDecimal.setScale(int, int)	The method BigDecimal.setScale(int, RoundingMode) should be used in preference to this legacy method.
java.net.DatagramSocketImpl.getTTL()	use getTimeToLive instead.
java.net.DatagramSocketImpl.setTTL(byte)	use setTimeToLive instead.
java.net.MulticastSocket.getInterface()	The network interface may not be uniquely identified by the InetAddress returned. Use MulticastSocket.getNetworkInterface() instead.
java.net.MulticastSocket.getLoopbackMode()	Use DatagramSocket.getOption(SocketOption) with StandardSocketOptions.IP_MULTICAST_LOOP instead.
java.net.MulticastSocket.getTTL()	use the getTimeToLive method instead, which returns an int instead of a byte.
java.net.MulticastSocket.joinGroup(InetAddress)	This method does not accept the network interface on which to join the multicast group. Use MulticastSocket.joinGroup(SocketAddress, NetworkInterface) instead.
java.net.MulticastSocket.leaveGroup(InetAddress)	This method does not accept the network interface on which to leave the multicast group. Use MulticastSocket.leaveGroup(SocketAddress, NetworkInterface) instead.
java.net.MulticastSocket.send(DatagramPacket, byte)	Use the following code or its equivalent instead: ...... int ttl = mcastSocket.getTimeToLive(); mcastSocket.setTimeToLive(newttl); mcastSocket.send(p); mcastSocket.setTimeToLive(ttl); ......
java.net.MulticastSocket.setInterface(InetAddress)	The InetAddress may not uniquely identify the network interface. Use MulticastSocket.setNetworkInterface(NetworkInterface) instead.
java.net.MulticastSocket.setLoopbackMode(boolean)	Use DatagramSocket.setOption(SocketOption, Object) with StandardSocketOptions.IP_MULTICAST_LOOP instead. The loopback mode is enabled by default, MulticastSocket.setOption(StandardSocketOptions.IP_MULTICAST_LOOP, false) disables it.
java.net.MulticastSocket.setTTL(byte)	use the setTimeToLive method instead, which uses int instead of byte as the type for ttl.
java.net.URLConnection.getDefaultRequestProperty(String)	The instance specific getRequestProperty method should be used after an appropriate instance of URLConnection is obtained.
java.net.URLConnection.setDefaultRequestProperty(String, String)	The instance specific setRequestProperty method should be used after an appropriate instance of URLConnection is obtained. Invoking this method will have no effect.
java.net.URLDecoder.decode(String)	The resulting string may vary depending on the platform's default encoding. Instead, use the decode(String,String) method to specify the encoding.
java.net.URLEncoder.encode(String)	The resulting string may vary depending on the platform's default encoding. Instead, use the encode(String,String) method to specify the encoding.
java.net.URLStreamHandler.setURL(URL, String, String, int, String, String)	Use setURL(URL, String, String, int, String, String, String, String);

Constructors

Constructor	Description
com.sun.jdi.Bootstrap()
com.sun.security.jgss.GSSUtil()
com.sun.tools.javac.Main()
java.awt.AWTEvent(Event)	It is recommended that AWTEvent(Object, int) be used instead
java.awt.event.KeyEvent(Component, int, long, int, int)	as of JDK1.1; use KeyEvent(Component, int, long, int, int, char) instead
java.io.StreamTokenizer(InputStream)	As of JDK version 1.1, the preferred way to tokenize an input stream is to convert it into a character stream, for example: Reader r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is)); StreamTokenizer st = new StreamTokenizer(r);
java.lang.Boolean(boolean)	It is rarely appropriate to use this constructor. The static factory Boolean.valueOf(boolean) is generally a better choice, as it is likely to yield significantly better space and time performance. Also consider using the final fields Boolean.TRUE and Boolean.FALSE if possible.
java.lang.Boolean(String)	It is rarely appropriate to use this constructor. Use Boolean.parseBoolean(String) to convert a string to a boolean primitive, or use Boolean.valueOf(String) to convert a string to a Boolean object.
java.lang.Byte(byte)	It is rarely appropriate to use this constructor. The static factory Byte.valueOf(byte) is generally a better choice, as it is likely to yield significantly better space and time performance.
java.lang.Byte(String)	It is rarely appropriate to use this constructor. Use Byte.parseByte(String) to convert a string to a byte primitive, or use Byte.valueOf(String) to convert a string to a Byte object.
java.lang.Character(char)	It is rarely appropriate to use this constructor. The static factory Character.valueOf(char) is generally a better choice, as it is likely to yield significantly better space and time performance.
java.lang.Double(double)	It is rarely appropriate to use this constructor. The static factory Double.valueOf(double) is generally a better choice, as it is likely to yield significantly better space and time performance.
java.lang.Double(String)	It is rarely appropriate to use this constructor. Use Double.parseDouble(String) to convert a string to a double primitive, or use Double.valueOf(String) to convert a string to a Double object.
java.lang.Float(double)	It is rarely appropriate to use this constructor. Instead, use the static factory method Float.valueOf(float) method as follows: Float.valueOf((float)value).
java.lang.Float(float)	It is rarely appropriate to use this constructor. The static factory Float.valueOf(float) is generally a better choice, as it is likely to yield significantly better space and time performance.
java.lang.Float(String)	It is rarely appropriate to use this constructor. Use Float.parseFloat(String) to convert a string to a float primitive, or use Float.valueOf(String) to convert a string to a Float object.
java.lang.Integer(int)	It is rarely appropriate to use this constructor. The static factory Integer.valueOf(int) is generally a better choice, as it is likely to yield significantly better space and time performance.
