Elliotte Rusty Harold commented on LANG-1763:
---------------------------------------------
Well in this case it's not deprecated with no replacement. It's just that the
replacement isn't a one-to-one drop-in where you change a method name. The
necessary functionality is available in the JDK but with a different API and
design, so we can point to that.

> FastDateFormat has bugs, is out of date, and solves a problem that no longer
> exists. That is, it's a thread-safe replacement for SimpleDateFormat. But
> SimpleDateFormat should be replaced by java.time classes in Java 1.8 and
> later, which are thread safe. So deprecate FastDateFormat with a suggestion
> that devs use java.time instead.
