Q: What is the JDK's policy on deprecating items?
A: As of JDK 9, JDK APIs use enhanced deprecation (JEP 277). In summary, if an API is problematic in one or more ways, it can be marked as @Deprecated to discourage its use. If there are plans to remove the API in the following release, then it should be marked as @Deprecated(forRemoval=true). If an item is deprecated for removal in the next release, the bug to implement the removal should be filed by the time the CSR request is approved. Deprecated items should have a corresponding @deprecated javadoc tag. The @deprecated text should include a reference to a recommended replacement API, if one exists, and note any salient semantic differences with a replacement.
