Java 5.0 - Javadoc

Below lists modifications in lvg for Javadoc 5.0:

• Deprecated

  A new annotation @Deprecated should be used in addition to the @deprecated tag for deprecating program elements. The Java Language Specification now requires compilers to issue warning when the @Deprecated annotation (but not necessarily the tag) is used. The @deprecated tag provided a place to describe what replaces the deprecated program element.

  Example:

  
  public class foo {
  ...
  
  /**
  *
  * ..
  *
  * @deprecated repalced by fooNewMethod()
  */
  @Deprecated public void fooMethod()
  {
  ...
  }
  ...
