Hello,
First some background, one of the JEPs targeted to JDK 9 is
JEP 212: Resolve Lint and Doclint Warnings
http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/212
In the jdk repository, only the deprecation category of lint warnings
remain. While resolving the other categories of warnings mostly involved
area-agnostic Java language expertise (say, to generify an API), fixing
a deprecation warning by modifying code often involves very detailed
area-specific knowledge. For that reason, to resolve the deprecation
category of lint warnings, rather than updating the code per se, I'm
only planning to @SuppressWarnings the issues. To track that work, I've
filed the umbrella bug
JDK-8066616: Suppress deprecation warnings in jdk libraries
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8066616
with subtasks for different modules in the build. I've also filed a
sibling umbrella bug
JDK-8066618: Fix deprecation warnings in jdk libraries
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8066618
which has a matching set of subtasks to have each deprecation location
in the code be reexamined by someone familiar with the area.
With that background, first up is this review request for
JDK-8066617: Suppress deprecation warnings in java.base module
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~darcy/8066617.0/
Thanks,
-Joe
