          Deprecated by CORBA 2.2. 
java.rmi.server.RemoteRef.newCall(RemoteObject, Operation[], int, long)
          1.2 style stubs no longer use this method. Instead of using a sequence of method calls on the stub's the remote reference (newCall, invoke, and done), a stub uses a single method, invoke(Remote, Method, Object[], int), on the remote reference to carry out parameter marshalling, remote method executing and unmarshalling of the return value.

1.2 stubs are generated using rmic -v1.2. By default, rmic generates stubs compatible with JDK1.1 and the Java 2 SDK. The compatible stubs can also be generated using rmic -vcompat.

org.omg.CORBA.portable.InputStream.read_Principal()
          Deprecated by CORBA 2.2. 
java.io.ObjectInputStream.readLine()
          This method does not properly convert bytes to characters. see DataInputStream for the details and alternatives. 
java.io.DataInputStream.readLine()
          This method does not properly convert bytes to characters. As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to read lines of text is via the BufferedReader.readLine() method. Programs that use the DataInputStream class to read lines can be converted to use the BufferedReader class by replacing code of the form:
     DataInputStream d = new DataInputStream(in);
 
with:
     BufferedReader d
          = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));

          no replacement. As of the Java 2 platform v1.2, RMI no longer uses the RegistryHandler to obtain the registry's implementation.

org.omg.CORBA.ServerRequest.result(Any)
          use the method set_result 
java.lang.ThreadGroup.resume()
          This method is used solely in conjunction with Thread.suspend and ThreadGroup.suspend, both of which have been deprecated, as they are inherently deadlock-prone. See Thread.suspend() for details. 
java.lang.Thread.resume()
          This method exists solely for use with Thread.suspend(), which has been deprecated because it is deadlock-prone. For more information, see Why are Thread.stop, Thread.suspend and Thread.resume Deprecated?. 
java.lang.System.runFinalizersOnExit(boolean)
          This method is inherently unsafe. It may result in finalizers being called on live objects while other threads are concurrently manipulating those objects, resulting in erratic behavior or deadlock. 
java.lang.Runtime.runFinalizersOnExit(boolean)
          This method is inherently unsafe. It may result in finalizers being called on live objects while other threads are concurrently manipulating those objects, resulting in erratic behavior or deadlock. 
java.util.Properties.save(OutputStream, String)

java.security.Signature.setParameter(String, Object)
          Use setParameter. 
java.rmi.server.RemoteStub.setRef(RemoteStub, RemoteRef)
          no replacement. The setRef method is not needed since RemoteStubs can be created with the RemoteStub(RemoteRef) constructor. 
java.sql.Date.setSeconds(int)
            
java.util.Date.setSeconds(int)
          As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by Calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, int seconds). 
java.net.MulticastSocket.setTTL(byte)
          use the setTimeToLive method instead, which uses int instead of byte as the type for ttl. 
java.net.DatagramSocketImpl.setTTL(byte)

javax.swing.JTable.sizeColumnsToFit(boolean)
          As of Swing version 1.0.3, replaced by sizeColumnsToFit(int). 
java.lang.ThreadGroup.stop()
          This method is inherently unsafe. See Thread.stop() for details. 
java.lang.Thread.stop()
          This method is inherently unsafe. Stopping a thread with Thread.stop causes it to unlock all of the monitors that it has locked (as a natural consequence of the unchecked ThreadDeath exception propagating up the stack). If any of the objects previously protected by these monitors were in an inconsistent state, the damaged objects become visible to other threads, potentially resulting in arbitrary behavior. Many uses of stop should 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), the interrupt method should be used to interrupt the wait. For more information, see Why are Thread.stop, Thread.suspend and Thread.resume Deprecated?. 
java.lang.Thread.stop(Throwable)
          This method is inherently unsafe. See Thread.stop() (with no arguments) for details. An additional danger of this method is that it may be used to generate exceptions that the target thread is unprepared to handle (including checked exceptions that the thread could not possibly throw, were it not for this method). For more information, see Why are Thread.stop, Thread.suspend and Thread.resume Deprecated?. 
java.lang.ThreadGroup.suspend()
          This method is inherently deadlock-prone. See Thread.suspend() for details. 
java.lang.Thread.suspend()
          This method has been deprecated, as it is inherently deadlock-prone. If the target thread holds a lock on the monitor protecting a critical system resource when it is suspended, no thread can access this resource until the target thread is resumed. If the thread that would resume the target thread attempts to lock this monitor prior to calling resume, deadlock results. Such deadlocks typically manifest themselves as "frozen" processes. For more information, see Why are Thread.stop, Thread.suspend and Thread.resume Deprecated?. 
java.util.Date.toGMTString()
          As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by DateFormat.format(Date date), using a GMT TimeZone.

          As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by DateFormat.format(Date date). 
java.rmi.server.Operation.toString()
          no replacement 
java.rmi.server.LogStream.toString()
          no replacement 
java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream.toString(int)
          This method does not properly convert bytes into characters. As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to do this is via the toString(String enc) method, which takes an encoding-name argument, or the toString() method, which uses the platform's default character encoding. 
java.util.Date.UTC(int, int, int, int, int, int)
          As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by Calendar.set(year + 1900, month, date, hrs, min, sec) or GregorianCalendar(year + 1900, month, date, hrs, min, sec), using a UTC TimeZone, followed by Calendar.getTime().getTime(). 
javax.swing.text.View.viewToModel(float, float, Shape)
            
org.omg.CORBA.portable.OutputStream.write_Principal(Principal)
          Deprecated by CORBA 2.2.

java.net.Socket(String, int, boolean)
          Use DatagramSocket instead for UDP transport. 
java.io.StreamTokenizer(InputStream)
          As of JDK version 1.1, the preferred way to tokenize an input stream is to convert it into a character stream, for example:
   Reader r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
   StreamTokenizer st = new StreamTokenizer(r);
 
 
java.lang.String(byte[], int)
          This method does not properly convert bytes into characters. As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to do this is via the String constructors that take a character-encoding name or that use the platform's default encoding. 
java.lang.String(byte[], int, int, int)
          This method does not properly convert bytes into characters. As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to do this is via the String constructors that take a character-encoding name or that use the platform's default encoding. 
org.omg.CORBA.TCKind(int)
          Do not use this constructor as this method should be private according to the OMG specification. Use TCKind.from_int(int) instead. 
java.sql.Time(int, int, int)
          Use the constructor that takes a milliseconds value in place of this constructor 
java.sql.Timestamp(int, int, int, int, int, int, int)
          instead use the constructor Timestamp(long millis)
