Deprecated Classes
javax.accessibility.AccessibleResourceBundle
          This class is deprecated as of version 1.3 of the Java 2 Platform. 
org.xml.sax.helpers.AttributeListImpl
          This class implements a deprecated interface, AttributeList; that interface has been replaced by Attributes, which is implemented in the AttributesImpl helper class. 
javax.management.DefaultLoaderRepository
          Use MBeanServer.getClassLoaderRepository() instead. 
javax.management.loading.DefaultLoaderRepository
          Use MBeanServer.getClassLoaderRepository()} instead.

org.omg.CORBA.DynamicImplementation
          org.omg.CORBA.DynamicImplementation 
org.xml.sax.HandlerBase
          This class works with the deprecated DocumentHandler interface. It has been replaced by the SAX2 DefaultHandler class. 
java.security.Identity
          This class is no longer used. Its functionality has been replaced by java.security.KeyStore, the java.security.cert package, and java.security.Principal. 
java.security.IdentityScope
          This class is no longer used. Its functionality has been replaced by java.security.KeyStore, the java.security.cert package, and java.security.Principal.

java.rmi.server.LogStream
          no replacement 
javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalComboBoxUI.MetalComboPopup
          As of Java 2 platform v1.4.

          This class works with the deprecated Parser interface. 
javax.security.auth.Policy
          as of JDK version 1.4 -- Replaced by java.security.Policy. java.security.Policy has a method:
        public PermissionCollection getPermissions
            (java.security.ProtectionDomain pd)
 
 
and ProtectionDomain has a constructor:
        public ProtectionDomain
            (CodeSource cs,
             PermissionCollection permissions,
             ClassLoader loader,
             Principal[] principals)

javax.swing.text.TableView.TableCell
          A table cell can now be any View implementation. 
javax.management.timer.TimerAlarmClockNotification
          This class is of no use to user code. It is retained purely for compatibility reasons. 
 

Deprecated Exceptions

java.lang.Thread.destroy()
          This method was originally designed to destroy this thread without any cleanup. Any monitors it held would have remained locked. However, the method was never implemented.

If the target thread held a lock protecting a critical system resource when it was destroyed, no thread could ever access this resource again. If another thread ever attempted to lock this resource, deadlock would result. Such deadlocks typically manifest themselves as "frozen" processes.

          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.

javax.swing.JTable.sizeColumnsToFit(boolean)
          As of Swing version 1.0.3, replaced by doLayout(). 
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.ThreadGroup.stop()
          This method is inherently unsafe. See Thread.stop() for details. 
java.lang.Thread.stop(Throwable)
          This method is inherently unsafe. See Thread.stop() for details. An additional danger of this method is that it may be used to generate exceptions that the target thread is unprepared to handle (including checked exceptions that the thread could not possibly throw, were it not for this method). 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.suspend()
          This method is inherently deadlock-prone. See Thread.suspend() for details. 
java.util.Date.toGMTString()

          no replacement 
java.rmi.server.Operation.toString()
          no replacement 
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 toString(String enc) method, which takes an encoding-name argument, or the toString() method, which uses the platform's default character encoding. 
java.util.Date.UTC(int, int, int, int, int, int)
          As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by Calendar.set(year + 1900, month, date, hrs, min, sec) or GregorianCalendar(year + 1900, month, date, hrs, min, sec), using a UTC TimeZone, followed by Calendar.getTime().getTime(). 
javax.swing.text.View.viewToModel(float, float, Shape)

          no replacement 
java.rmi.server.LogStream.write(int)
          no replacement 
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.

          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.String(byte[], int)
          This method does not properly convert bytes into characters. As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to do this is via the String constructors that take a charset name or that use the platform's default charset.
