Intellij deprecation warning for java.util.HashMap

Question

IntelliJ seems to think that the no-arg constructor of java.util.HashMap is deprecated, as judged by the style in which it marks up the constructor name:

How can I fix it, if I don't want to disable inspections?

UPD: IntelliJ seems to think that the java.util.HashMap class is deprecated

Answer 1

I had this issue with java.util.List marked as deprecated. Somehow I had marked it as such via an "external annotation".

To remove it:

• Click through to the source (in my case java.util.List)
• There should be a @ beside the type, click on it ...
• Deannotate java.lang.Deprecated
