Deprecated Interfaces

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

Deprecated Classes

Class	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
edu.umd.cs.findbugs.classfile.engine.ClassParserUsingBCEL
edu.umd.cs.findbugs.gui2.CompoundMatcher
edu.umd.cs.findbugs.ba.CompoundMethodChooser
edu.umd.cs.findbugs.gui2.FilterMatcher

edu.umd.cs.findbugs.ba.npe.MayReturnNullPropertyDatabase
edu.umd.cs.findbugs.NewResults
edu.umd.cs.findbugs.detect.NoteNonNullAnnotations	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.

Deprecated Fields

Field	Description
edu.umd.cs.findbugs.ba.AnalysisFeatures.INTERATIVE_OPCODE_STACK_ANALYSIS
edu.umd.cs.findbugs.ba.AnalysisFeatures.NUM_BOOLEAN_ANALYSIS_PROPERTIES	- use Builder instead
edu.umd.cs.findbugs.Version.RELEASE	Use Version.VERSION_STRING instead.
