Klaus Claszen commented on MNG-5604:
------------------------------------
Mirko & Paul, thanks for the hints to the usage of the enforcer plugin. But I
think similar to the "relocation" element in the pom some kind of "deprecated"
would also be useful. The information should be provided in the artifact itself
by the author of the module and would be a first hand information. Of course
new version(s) have to be provided with this information because you can not
republish released versions.
As the author of a module I just would like to have the possibility to provide
the information that this module should not be used anymore. So far I need to
mark all classes as @Deprecated.

> It would be great if it would be possible to mark a maven module as
> 'deprecated'. It would help to document that a module is outdated. The
> information could be used during build processes to show warnings and guide
