Suppress deprecated import warning in Java

Question

In Java, if you import a deprecated class:

import SomeDeprecatedClass;

You get this warning: The type SomeDeprecatedClass is deprecat

Answer 1

Suppose that you are overriding/implementing an interface with a deprecated method (such as the getUnicodeStream(String columnLabel) in java.sql.ResultSet) then you will not get rid of deprecation warnings just by using the annotation @SuppressWarnings( "deprecation" ), unless you also annotate the same new method with the @Deprecated annotation. This is logical, because otherwise you could "undeprecate" a method by just overriding its interface description.
