Deprecated member is still used

Last modified: 03 December 2024

Reports deprecated classes, methods, and fields that are used in your code nonetheless.

Example:

class MyCode {
  @Deprecated
  void oldMethod() {}// warning: "Deprecated member is still used"

  void newMethod() {
    oldMethod(); // forgotten usage
  }
}

Usages within deprecated elements are ignored.

NOTE: Due to performance reasons, a non-private member is checked only when its name rarely occurs in the project.
