Hi all,
Here's a small proposal to deprecate the java.util.Observable and Observer. This
deprecation will not be for removal.
These days, anyone encountering these is probably hitting them
by mistake while using RxJava or other reactive-stream frameworks.
In which case, users will normally want to instead use the jdk9
java.util.concurrent.Flow APIs that all reactive-streams frameworks
should be compatible/interoperable with in their planned upcoming
jdk9-compatible versions. I'm not sure how to state this now in
any @Deprecated docs or other Observable and Observer javadocs though.
