Suppress javac warning “…is internal proprietary API and may be removed in a future release”

Question

When I compile the Spring JDBC source on OS X with JDK 1.7.0, I get this warning:

warning: CachedRowSetImpl is internal proprietary API and may be removed in         


        

Answer 1

I tried

@SuppressWarnings("all")

but that didn't work.

So I resorted to a horrible, horrible kludge which I don't recommend in general, but in this specific case made the warning go away. I used reflection to instantiate a new instance of the com.sun.rowset.CachedRowSetImpl class.

I replaced this line, which caused the warning:

    return new CachedRowSetImpl();

with this block:

    try {
        final Class<?> aClass = Class.forName("com.sun.rowset.CachedRowSetImpl");
        return (CachedRowSet) aClass.newInstance();
    } catch (ClassNotFoundException | InstantiationException | IllegalAccessException e) {
        throw new RuntimeException(e);
    }

Please don't do this in your own code without first considering any other option.
