The correct way to writePutFielddata is by calling theObjectOutputStream.writeFields()method.25This permission cannot be used for controlling access to resourcesas the Security Manager is no longer supported.18Finalization has been deprecated for removal. SeeObject.finalize()for background information and detailsabout migration options.25This class was only useful in conjunction with the Security Manager,which is no longer supported. There is no replacement for this class.9Finalization is deprecated and subject to removal in a futurerelease. The use of finalization can lead to problems with security,performance, and reliability.SeeJEP 421 fordiscussion and alternatives.Subclasses that override
finalizeto perform cleanup should usealternative cleanup mechanisms and remove thefinalizemethod.UseCleanerandPhantomReferenceas safer ways to release resourceswhen an object becomes unreachable. Alternatively, add aclosemethod to explicitly release resources, and implementAutoCloseableto enable use of thetry-with-resourcesstatement.This method will remain in place until finalizers have been removed frommost existing code.
25This permission cannot be used for controlling access to resourcesas the Security Manager is no longer supported.18Finalization has been deprecated for removal. SeeObject.finalize()for background information and detailsabout migration options.When running in a JVM in which finalization has been disabled or removed,no objects will be pending finalization, so this method does nothing.

17This method originally setthe system-wide Security Manager. Setting a Security Manager is no longer supported. There is no replacement for the Security Manager or this method.17This method originally determined if the currently runningthread had permission to modify this thread. This method was only usefulin conjunction withthe Security Manager,which is no longer supported. There is no replacement for the SecurityManager or this method.1.2This method was originally specified to "stop" a victim thread by causing the victim thread to throw aThreadDeath. It was inherently unsafe. Stopping a thread caused it to unlock all of the monitors that it had locked (as a natural consequence of theThreadDeathexception propagating up the stack). If any of the objects previously protected by these monitors were in an inconsistent state, the damaged objects became visible to other threads, potentially resulting in arbitrary behavior. Usages ofstopshould 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), theinterruptmethod should be used to interrupt the wait. For more information, seeWhy is Thread.stop deprecated and the ability to stop a thread removed?.20Thread.stop()was originally specified to "stop" a victim thread by causing the victim thread to throw aThreadDeath. It was inherently unsafe and deprecated in an early JDK release. The ability to "stop" a thread withThread.stophas been removed and theThread.stopmethod changed to throw an exception. Consequently,ThreadDeathis also deprecated, for removal.17This method originally determined if the currently runningthread had permission to modify this thread group. This method was onlyuseful in conjunction withthe Security Manager,which is no longer supported. There is no replacement for the SecurityManager or this method.16This method was originally specified to destroy an empty thread group. The ability to explicitly destroy a thread group no longer exists. A thread group is eligible to be GC'ed when there are no live threads in the group and it is otherwise unreachable.16This method originally indicated if the thread group is adaemon thread group that is automatically destroyed when its last thread terminates. The concept of daemon thread group no longer exists. A thread group is eligible to be GC'ed when there are no live threads in the group and it is otherwise unreachable.16This method originally indicated if the thread group is destroyed. The ability to destroy a thread group and the concept of a destroyed thread group no longer exists.

See the java.applet packagedocumentation for further information.This method does not properly convert bytes into characters.As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to do this is via theByteArrayOutputStream.toString(String charsetName)orByteArrayOutputStream.toString(Charset charset)method, which takes an encoding-name or charset argument,or thetoString()method, which uses the default charset.This method does not properly convert bytes to characters.As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to read lines of text is via theBufferedReader.readLine()method. Programs that use theDataInputStreamclass to read lines can be converted to usetheBufferedReaderclass by replacing code of the form:
with:DataInputStream d = new DataInputStream(in);
BufferedReader d = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
This method does not properly convert bytes to characters. see DataInputStream for the details and alternatives.1.4This method does not write the values contained by thisPutFieldobject in a proper format, and may result in corruption of the serialization stream. The correct way to writePutFielddata is by calling theObjectOutputStream.writeFields()method.1.1Replaced by isJavaIdentifierStart(char).1.1Replaced by isJavaIdentifierPart(char).1.1Replaced by isWhitespace(char).9This method propagates any exception thrown by thenullary constructor, including a checked exception. Use ofthis method effectively bypasses the compile-time exceptionchecking that would otherwise be performed by the compiler.TheConstructor.newInstancemethod avoids this problem by wrappingany exception thrown by the constructor in a (checked)InvocationTargetException.The call
can be replaced byclazz.newInstance()The latter sequence of calls is inferred to be able to throwthe additional exception typesclazz.getDeclaredConstructor().newInstance()InvocationTargetExceptionandNoSuchMethodException. Both of these exception types aresubclasses ofReflectiveOperationException.1.1Replaced bydefineClass(String, byte[], int, int)9If multiple class loaders delegate to each other and define classeswith the same package name, and one such loader relies on the lookupbehavior ofgetPackageto return aPackagefroma parent loader, then the properties exposed by thePackagemay not be as expected in the rest of the program.For example, thePackagewill only expose annotations from thepackage-info.classfile defined by the parent loader, even ifannotations exist in apackage-info.classfile defined bya child loader. A more robust approach is to use theClassLoader.getDefinedPackage(String)method which returnsaPackagefor the specified class loader.18Finalization has been deprecated for removal. SeeObject.finalize()for background information and detailsabout migration options.14This method was originally designed to testPRIVATEaccessthat implies full privilege access butMODULEaccess has since becomeindependent ofPRIVATEaccess. It is recommended to callMethodHandles.Lookup.hasFullPrivilegeAccess()instead.18Finalization has been deprecated for removal. SeeObject.finalize()for details.9Finalization is deprecated and subject to removal in a futurerelease. The use of finalization can lead to problems with security,performance, and reliability.SeeJEP 421 fordiscussion and alternatives.Subclasses that override
finalizeto perform cleanup should usealternative cleanup mechanisms and remove thefinalizemethod.UseCleanerandPhantomReferenceas safer ways to release resourceswhen an object becomes unreachable. Alternatively, add aclosemethod to explicitly release resources, and implementAutoCloseableto enable use of thetry-with-resourcesstatement.This method will remain in place until finalizers have been removed frommost existing code.
9If multiple class loaders delegate to each other and define classeswith the same package name, and one such loader relies on the lookupbehavior ofgetPackageto return aPackagefroma parent loader, then the properties exposed by thePackagemay not be as expected in the rest of the program.For example, thePackagewill only expose annotations from thepackage-info.classfile defined by the parent loader, even ifannotations exist in apackage-info.classfile defined bya child loader. A more robust approach is to use theClassLoader.getDefinedPackage(String)method which returnsaPackagefor the specified class loader.16This method was originally specified to test if a reference object hasbeen cleared and enqueued but was never implemented to do this test.This method could be misused due to the inherent race conditionor without an associatedReferenceQueue.An application relying on this method to release critical resourcescould cause serious performance issue.An application should useReferenceQueueto reliably determinewhat reference objects that have been enqueued orrefersTo(null)to determine if this referenceobject has been cleared.9This method is deprecated because its name hints that it checksif the reflected object is accessible when it actually indicatesif the checks for Java language access control are suppressed.This method may returnfalseon a reflected object that isaccessible to the caller. To test if this reflected object is accessible,it should useAccessibleObject.canAccess(Object).Proxy classes generated in a named module are encapsulated and not accessible to code outside its module.Constructor.newInstancewill throwIllegalAccessExceptionwhen it is called on an inaccessible proxy class. UseProxy.newProxyInstance(ClassLoader, Class[], InvocationHandler)to create a proxy instance instead.18This method is error-prone and should not be used, the corresponding methodRuntime.exec(String[])orProcessBuildershould be used instead.The command string is broken into tokens using only whitespace characters.For an argument with an embedded space, such as a filename, this can cause problemsas the token does not include the full filename.18This method is error-prone and should not be used, the corresponding methodRuntime.exec(String[], String[])orProcessBuildershould be used instead.The command string is broken into tokens using only whitespace characters.For an argument with an embedded space, such as a filename, this can cause problemsas the token does not include the full filename.18This method is error-prone and should not be used, the corresponding methodRuntime.exec(String[], String[], File)orProcessBuildershould be used instead.The command string is broken into tokens using only whitespace characters.For an argument with an embedded space, such as a filename, this can cause problemsas the token does not include the full filename.18Finalization has been deprecated for removal. SeeObject.finalize()for background information and detailsabout migration options.When running in a JVM in which finalization has been disabled or removed,no objects will be pending finalization, so this method does nothing.
10As of Java SE 10, the first element of a versionnumber is not the major-release number but the feature-releasecounter, incremented for every time-based release. Use theRuntime.Version.feature()method in preference to this method. For compatibility,this method returns the value of thefeatureelement.10As of Java SE 10, the second element of a versionnumber is not the minor-release number but the interim-releasecounter, incremented for every interim release. Use theRuntime.Version.interim()method in preference to this method. For compatibility,this method returns the value of theinterimelement, or zero if it is absent.10As of Java SE 10, the third element of a versionnumber is not the security level but the update-release counter,incremented for every update release. Use theRuntime.Version.update()method in preference to this method. For compatibility, this methodreturns the value of theupdate element, orzero if it is absent.1.1This method does not properly convert characters intobytes. As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to do this is via theString.getBytes()method, which uses thedefault charset.17This method originally returnedthe system-wide Security Manager. Setting a Security Manager is no longer supported. There is no replacement for the Security Manager or this method.18Finalization has been deprecated for removal. SeeObject.finalize()for background information and detailsabout migration options.When running in a JVM in which finalization has been disabled or removed,no objects will be pending finalization, so this method does nothing.
17This method originally setthe system-wide Security Manager. Setting a Security Manager is no longer supported. There is no replacement for the Security Manager or this method.17This method originally determined if the currently runningthread had permission to modify this thread. This method was only usefulin conjunction withthe Security Manager,which is no longer supported. There is no replacement for the SecurityManager or this method.19This method is not final and may be overridden to return avalue that is not the thread ID. UseThread.threadId()instead.1.2This method was originally specified to "stop" a victim thread by causing the victim thread to throw aThreadDeath. It was inherently unsafe. Stopping a thread caused it to unlock all of the monitors that it had locked (as a natural consequence of theThreadDeathexception propagating up the stack). If any of the objects previously protected by these monitors were in an inconsistent state, the damaged objects became visible to other threads, potentially resulting in arbitrary behavior. Usages ofstopshould 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), theinterruptmethod should be used to interrupt the wait. For more information, seeWhy is Thread.stop deprecated and the ability to stop a thread removed?.17This method originally determined if the currently runningthread had permission to modify this thread group. This method was onlyuseful in conjunction withthe Security Manager,which is no longer supported. There is no replacement for the SecurityManager or this method.16This method was originally specified to destroy an empty thread group. The ability to explicitly destroy a thread group no longer exists. A thread group is eligible to be GC'ed when there are no live threads in the group and it is otherwise unreachable.16This method originally indicated if the thread group is adaemon thread group that is automatically destroyed when its last thread terminates. The concept of daemon thread group no longer exists. A thread group is eligible to be GC'ed when there are no live threads in the group and it is otherwise unreachable.16This method originally indicated if the thread group is destroyed. The ability to destroy a thread group and the concept of a destroyed thread group no longer exists. A thread group is eligible to be GC'ed when there are no live threads in the group and it is otherwise unreachable.16This method originally configured whether the thread group is adaemon thread group that is automatically destroyed when its last thread terminates. The concept of daemon thread group no longer exists. A thread group is eligible to be GC'ed when there are no live threads in the group and it is otherwise unreachable.9The methodBigDecimal.divide(BigDecimal, RoundingMode)should be used in preference to this legacy method.9The methodBigDecimal.divide(BigDecimal, int, RoundingMode)should be used in preference to this legacy method.9The methodBigDecimal.setScale(int, RoundingMode)shouldbe used in preference to this legacy method.17UseDatagramChannel, or subclassDatagramSocketdirectly.
This method provided a way in early JDK releases to replace the system wide implementation ofDatagramSocket. It has been mostly obsolete since Java 1.4.

UseMulticastSocket.getNetworkInterface()instead.141.2use theMulticastSocket.getTimeToLive()method instead,which returns anint instead of abyte.14This method does not accept the network interface on which to join the multicast group. UseMulticastSocket.joinGroup(SocketAddress, NetworkInterface)instead.14This method does not accept the network interface on which to leave the multicast group. UseMulticastSocket.leaveGroup(SocketAddress, NetworkInterface)instead.1.4Use the following code or its equivalent instead:...... int ttl = mcastSocket.getOption(StandardSocketOptions.IP_MULTICAST_TTL); mcastSocket.setOption(StandardSocketOptions.IP_MULTICAST_TTL, newttl); mcastSocket.send(p); mcastSocket.setOption(StandardSocketOptions.IP_MULTICAST_TTL, ttl); ......14The InetAddress may not uniquely identify the network interface. UseMulticastSocket.setNetworkInterface(NetworkInterface)instead.14UseDatagramSocket.setOption(SocketOption, Object)withStandardSocketOptions.IP_MULTICAST_LOOPinstead. The loopback mode is enabled by default,MulticastSocket.setOption(StandardSocketOptions.IP_MULTICAST_LOOP, false)disables it.1.2use theMulticastSocket.setTimeToLive(int)method instead, which usesint instead ofbyte as the type for ttl.17Use aServerSocketFactoryand subclassServerSocketdirectly.
