Answer 1

If you don't have a deprecation

javac -Xlint Filename.java

It's not an error, just a warning.

The compiler will still produce a class file and you will be able to run it. However, it's a good idea to address the warning, since using deprecated API could lead to more problems later on.

javac -Xlint:deprecation FileName.java
