Deprecated Classes

Class and Description
com.github.javaparser.utils.CollectionContext use CollectionStrategy directly
com.github.javaparser.printer.JsonPrinter this class was mostly used for serialization purposes. Use JavaParserJsonSerializer in the javaparser-core-serialization module for that.
com.github.javaparser.ast.validator.NoProblemsValidator when setting a language validator, try ParserConfiguration.setLanguageLevel(ParserConfiguration.LanguageLevel) with RAW.

Deprecated Methods

Deprecated Constructors

Constructor and Description
com.github.javaparser.ast.expr.ArrayCreationExpr(Range, Type) range shouldn't be in utility constructors.
com.github.javaparser.ast.type.ClassOrInterfaceType(String) use JavaParser.parseClassOrInterfaceType instead. This constructor does not understand generics.
com.github.javaparser.printer.lexicalpreservation.LexicalPreservingPrinter(Node) use setup(Node) to prepare a node for lexical preservation, then use the static methods on this class to print it.
com.github.javaparser.ast.body.MethodDeclaration(EnumSet<Modifier>, NodeList<AnnotationExpr>, NodeList<TypeParameter>, Type, SimpleName, boolean, NodeList<Parameter>, NodeList<ReferenceType>, BlockStmt) this constructor allows you to set "isDefault", but this is no longer a field of this node, but simply one of the modifiers. Use setDefault(boolean) or add DEFAULT to the modifiers set.
com.github.javaparser.ast.type.TypeParameter(Range, SimpleName, NodeList<ClassOrInterfaceType>) range shouldn't be in utility constructors.
