Deprecated Interfaces

Interface and Description
edu.umd.cs.findbugs.ba.JavaClassAndMethodChooser

Deprecated Classes

Class and Description
edu.umd.cs.findbugs.detect.BuildNonNullAnnotationDatabase AnnotationDatabases are being phased out, since annotations are now stored directly in the XClass/XMethod/XField objects. Resolving nullness annotations will be handled through the JSR-305 type qualifier code.
edu.umd.cs.findbugs.detect.CheckExpectedWarnings The annotation based approach is useless for lambdas. Write expectations using edu.umd.cs.findbugs.test.matcher.BugInstanceMatcher matchers in test source directory

Deprecated Fields

Field and Description
edu.umd.cs.findbugs.ba.AnalysisFeatures.INTERATIVE_OPCODE_STACK_ANALYSIS
