Suppress deprecated import warning in Java

Question

In Java, if you import a deprecated class:

import SomeDeprecatedClass;

You get this warning: The type SomeDeprecatedClass is deprecated

Is there a way to suppress this warning?

Answer 1

Try using the following command-line switch when compiling:

-Xlint:-deprecation

the -Xlint switch lets you specify what warnings should be checked, prefacing one with a - explicitly disables it.

Answer 2

As a hack you can not do the import and use the fully qualified name inside the code.

You might also try javac -Xlint:-deprecation not sure if that would address it.

Answer 3

Use this annotation on your class or method:

@SuppressWarnings( "deprecation" )
