@deprecated As of JDK 9, the Applet API is deprecated, no replacement.
I don't think it's necessary to say "As of JDK 9" since the annotation itself has since="9" in it.
The text seems like it's missing something. It's true there is no direct replacement for the Applet API. But somebody looking to migrate an Applet to something else will be left hanging. The JEP 289 text says,
Guide developers to alternative technologies such as Java Web Start or installable applications.
I'd suggest that a couple sentences be added to the java.applet package documentation saying that the APIs in this package are all deprecated and to suggest, per the JEP, migrating to Java Web Start or to an installable application. Links would also be good as appropriate. It needn't be a big essay; a couple sentences should be sufficient.
Then, each class can simply refer to the package doc: * @deprecated The Applet API is deprecated. See the * <a href="package-summary.html>java.applet package documentation</a> * for further information. s'marks On 5/12/16 6:41 PM, Daniil Titov wrote:
Hello, Please review the fix for JDK 9. The fix adds @Deprecated annotations to the Applet API classes as per JEP 289 “Deprecate the Applet API” ( http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/289 ). @SuppressWarnings("deprecation") annotations were added where required to suppress the compilation warnings that treated as errors.
