No. 'Deprecated' is a class file attribute which has been there for a long time and is set when the @deprecated Javadoc tag is used.

Within the IDE this is an edge case because most people will have access to the source, but I can imagine production builds would only compile against our platform runtime binaries and the deprecation warning would not appear.

Currently, it just clutters code, since the @deprecated Javadoc tag is still required (must explain the transition path to the replacement API or why there is no replacement). If Java compilers ever stop processing @deprecated, then the "Add missing '@Deprecated' annotations" clean up can be used. Here's a Stackoverflow entry: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5039723/should-i-use-javadoc-deprecation-or-the-annotation-in-java Nobody found a use case that would require @Deprecated right now.

Yes, adding a @Deprecated annotation is the way to go in 1.5 an beyond.

For the plug-ins that have moved to Java 1.5 would it add value to add the @Deprecated annotation?
