Java - Note: Some input files use or override a deprecated API [duplicate]

Question

I'm trying to compile my Java program, however I am getting a "Deprecated File" error.

I normally compile the file by typing "Javac FileName.java", however I get an error saying:

FileName.java uses or overrides a depreacted API. Recompile with Xlint-deprecation for details.

What do I type into the command line to make it run?

Answer 1

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.

If you choose to see the warnings, you can do this:

javac -Xlint:deprecation FileName.java

Answer 2

If you don't have a deprecation

javac -Xlint Filename.java
