• Deprecated Commands

    As the Java Language and its standard libraries evolve, certain features get phased out. These are said to be ``deprecated''.

    So your java program (perhaps copied from an older text book) may not compile or compiles with warnings.

    You can get information about the deprecated commands in your java program by typing 

    	% javac -deprecated <file>.java
    where javac is at least version 1.1.1.

    Here is Sun's tutorial for converting deprecated programs.
