Deprecated Classes
Class	Description
javax.accessibility.AccessibleResourceBundle	This class is deprecated as of version 1.3 of the Java Platform.
org.xml.sax.helpers.AttributeListImpl	This class implements a deprecated interface, `AttributeList`; that interface has been replaced by `Attributes`, which is implemented in the `AttributesImpl` helper class.
javax.management.DefaultLoaderRepository	Use `MBeanServer.getClassLoaderRepository()` instead.
javax.management.loading.DefaultLoaderRepository	Use `MBeanServer.getClassLoaderRepository()`} instead.
javax.swing.text.DefaultTextUI

javax.management.MBeanServer.deserialize(String, ObjectName, byte[])	Use `getClassLoader` to obtain the class loader for deserialization.
java.lang.Thread.destroy()	This method was originally designed to destroy this thread without any cleanup. Any monitors it held would have remained locked. However, the method was never implemented. If if were to be implemented, it would be deadlock-prone in much the manner of `Thread.suspend()`. If the target thread held a lock protecting a critical system resource when it was destroyed, no thread could ever access this resource again. If another thread ever attempted to lock this resource, deadlock would result. Such deadlocks typically manifest themselves as "frozen" processes. For more information, see Why are Thread.stop, Thread.suspend and Thread.resume Deprecated?.

java.rmi.server.RemoteRef.newCall(RemoteObject, Operation[], int, long)	1.2 style stubs no longer use this method. Instead of using a sequence of method calls on the stub's the remote reference (`newCall`, `invoke`, and `done`), a stub uses a single method, `invoke(Remote, Method, Object[], int)`, on the remote reference to carry out parameter marshalling, remote method executing and unmarshalling of the return value.
javax.xml.stream.XMLOutputFactory.newInstance(String, ClassLoader)	This method has been deprecated because it returns an instance of XMLInputFactory, which is of the wrong class. Use the new method `XMLOutputFactory.newFactory(java.lang.String, java.lang.ClassLoader)` instead.

java.lang.Thread.resume()	This method exists solely for use with `Thread.suspend()`, which has been deprecated because it is deadlock-prone. For more information, see Why are Thread.stop, Thread.suspend and Thread.resume Deprecated?.
java.lang.System.runFinalizersOnExit(boolean)	This method was originally designed to enable or disable running finalizers on exit. Running finalizers on exit was disabled by default. If enabled, then the finalizers of all objects whose finalizers had not yet been automatically invoked were to be run before the Java runtime exits. That behavior is inherently unsafe. It may result in finalizers being called on live objects while other threads are concurrently manipulating those objects, resulting in erratic behavior or deadlock.
java.lang.Runtime.runFinalizersOnExit(boolean)	This method was originally designed to enable or disable running finalizers on exit. Running finalizers on exit was disabled by default. If enabled, then the finalizers of all objects whose finalizers had not yet been automatically invoked were to be run before the Java runtime exits. That behavior is inherently unsafe. It may result in finalizers being called on live objects while other threads are concurrently manipulating those objects, resulting in erratic behavior or deadlock.
java.util.Properties.save(OutputStream, String)	This method does not throw an IOException if an I/O error occurs while saving the property list. The preferred way to save a properties list is via the `store(OutputStream out, String comments)` method or the `storeToXML(OutputStream os, String comment)` method.
java.net.MulticastSocket.send(DatagramPacket, byte)	Use the following code or its equivalent instead: ...... int ttl = mcastSocket.getTimeToLive(); mcastSocket.setTimeToLive(newttl); mcastSocket.send(p); mcastSocket.setTimeToLive(ttl); ......

java.rmi.server.RemoteStub.setRef(RemoteStub, RemoteRef)	No replacement. The `setRef` method was intended for setting the remote reference of a remote stub. This is unnecessary, since `RemoteStub`s can be created and initialized with a remote reference through use of the `RemoteStub.RemoteStub(RemoteRef)` constructor.
java.sql.Date.setSeconds(int)
java.util.Date.setSeconds(int)	As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by `Calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, int seconds)`.

java.net.MulticastSocket.setTTL(byte)	use the setTimeToLive method instead, which uses int instead of byte as the type for ttl.
java.net.DatagramSocketImpl.setTTL(byte)	use setTimeToLive instead.
java.sql.PreparedStatement.setUnicodeStream(int, InputStream, int)	Use `setCharacterStream`
javax.sql.rowset.BaseRowSet.setUnicodeStream(int, InputStream, int)	getCharacterStream should be used in its place

java.awt.Component.size()	As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by `getSize()`.
javax.swing.JTable.sizeColumnsToFit(boolean)	As of Swing version 1.0.3, replaced by `doLayout()`.
java.lang.ThreadGroup.stop()	This method is inherently unsafe. See `Thread.stop()` for details.
java.lang.Thread.stop()	This method is inherently unsafe. Stopping a thread with Thread.stop causes it to unlock all of the monitors that it has locked (as a natural consequence of the unchecked `ThreadDeath` exception propagating up the stack). If any of the objects previously protected by these monitors were in an inconsistent state, the damaged objects become visible to other threads, potentially resulting in arbitrary behavior. Many uses of `stop` should be replaced by code that simply modifies some variable to indicate that the target thread should stop running. The target thread should check this variable regularly, and return from its run method in an orderly fashion if the variable indicates that it is to stop running. If the target thread waits for long periods (on a condition variable, for example), the `interrupt` method should be used to interrupt the wait. For more information, see Why are Thread.stop, Thread.suspend and Thread.resume Deprecated?.
java.lang.Thread.stop(Throwable)	This method was originally designed to force a thread to stop and throw a given `Throwable` as an exception. It was inherently unsafe (see `Thread.stop()` for details), and furthermore could be used to generate exceptions that the target thread was not prepared to handle. For more information, see Why are Thread.stop, Thread.suspend and Thread.resume Deprecated?.
java.lang.ThreadGroup.suspend()	This method is inherently deadlock-prone. See `Thread.suspend()` for details.
java.lang.Thread.suspend()	This method has been deprecated, as it is inherently deadlock-prone. If the target thread holds a lock on the monitor protecting a critical system resource when it is suspended, no thread can access this resource until the target thread is resumed. If the thread that would resume the target thread attempts to lock this monitor prior to calling `resume`, deadlock results. Such deadlocks typically manifest themselves as "frozen" processes. For more information, see Why are Thread.stop, Thread.suspend and Thread.resume Deprecated?.
java.util.Date.toGMTString()	As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by `DateFormat.format(Date date)`, using a GMT `TimeZone`.
java.util.Date.toLocaleString()	As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by `DateFormat.format(Date date)`.
java.rmi.server.LogStream.toString()	no replacement
java.rmi.server.Operation.toString()	no replacement
java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream.toString(int)	This method does not properly convert bytes into characters. As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to do this is via the `toString(String enc)` method, which takes an encoding-name argument, or the `toString()` method, which uses the platform's default character encoding.
java.io.File.toURL()	This method does not automatically escape characters that are illegal in URLs. It is recommended that new code convert an abstract pathname into a URL by first converting it into a URI, via the `toURI` method, and then converting the URI into a URL via the `URI.toURL` method.
javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalScrollPaneUI.uninstallListeners(JScrollPane)	- Replaced by `MetalScrollPaneUI.uninstallListeners(JComponent)`
java.util.Date.UTC(int, int, int, int, int, int)	As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by `Calendar.set(year + 1900, month, date, hrs, min, sec)` or `GregorianCalendar(year + 1900, month, date, hrs, min, sec)`, using a UTC `TimeZone`, followed by `Calendar.getTime().getTime()`.

java.rmi.server.LogStream.write(int)	no replacement
java.io.ObjectOutputStream.PutField.write(ObjectOutput)	This method does not write the values contained by this `PutField` object in a proper format, and may result in corruption of the serialization stream. The correct way to write `PutField` data is by calling the `ObjectOutputStream.writeFields()` method.

Deprecated Constructors
Constructor	Description
javax.management.AttributeValueExp()	An instance created with this constructor cannot be used in a query.
java.sql.Date(int, int, int)	instead use the constructor `Date(long date)`
java.util.Date(int, int, int)	As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by `Calendar.set(year + 1900, month, date)` or `GregorianCalendar(year + 1900, month, date)`.
java.util.Date(int, int, int, int, int)	As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by `Calendar.set(year + 1900, month, date, hrs, min)` or `GregorianCalendar(year + 1900, month, date, hrs, min)`.
java.util.Date(int, int, int, int, int, int)	As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by `Calendar.set(year + 1900, month, date, hrs, min, sec)` or `GregorianCalendar(year + 1900, month, date, hrs, min, sec)`.
java.util.Date(String)	As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by `DateFormat.parse(String s)`.
java.awt.event.KeyEvent(Component, int, long, int, int)	as of JDK1.1
java.rmi.server.Operation(String)	no replacement
java.rmi.RMISecurityException(String)	no replacement
java.rmi.RMISecurityException(String, String)	no replacement
java.rmi.ServerRuntimeException(String, Exception)	no replacement
java.rmi.server.SkeletonMismatchException(String)	no replacement
java.net.Socket(InetAddress, int, boolean)	Use DatagramSocket instead for UDP transport.
java.net.Socket(String, int, boolean)	Use DatagramSocket instead for UDP transport.
java.io.StreamTokenizer(InputStream)	As of JDK version 1.1, the preferred way to tokenize an input stream is to convert it into a character stream, for example: Reader r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is)); StreamTokenizer st = new StreamTokenizer(r);
java.lang.String(byte[], int)	This method does not properly convert bytes into characters. As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to do this is via the `String` constructors that take a `Charset`, charset name, or that use the platform's default charset.
java.lang.String(byte[], int, int, int)	This method does not properly convert bytes into characters. As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to do this is via the `String` constructors that take a `Charset`, charset name, or that use the platform's default charset.
org.omg.CORBA.TCKind(int)	Do not use this constructor as this method should be private according to the OMG specification. Use `TCKind.from_int(int)` instead.
java.sql.Time(int, int, int)	Use the constructor that takes a milliseconds value in place of this constructor
java.sql.Timestamp(int, int, int, int, int, int, int)	instead use the constructor `Timestamp(long millis)`
