Deprecated Interfaces

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

Deprecated Classes

Class and Description
edu.umd.cs.findbugs.AnalysisLocal This class is not necessary to realize multi-thread model in SpotBugs 4.0. Each detector instance will not run on multiple threads, then only database (or other classes shared by detectors) needs synchronization and they can use normal Java synchronization instead.
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.ba.CompoundMethodChooser
edu.umd.cs.findbugs.ba.jsr305.FindBugsDefaultAnnotations
edu.umd.cs.findbugs.ba.ch.InterproceduralCallGraph
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.
edu.umd.cs.findbugs.ba.NullnessAnnotationDatabase
edu.umd.cs.findbugs.detect.TrainNonNullAnnotations 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 and 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.

Deprecated Methods

Method and Description
edu.umd.cs.findbugs.Project.addSourceDir(String) Calling this method repeatedly performs poorly because a SourceFinder is created each time, which checks all files for existence each time. Use Project.addSourceDirs(java.util.Collection<java.lang.String>) instead.
