Suppress deprecated import warning in Java
To avoid the warning: do not import the class
instead use the fully qualified class name
and use it in as few locations as possible.
Use this annotation on your class or method:
@SuppressWarnings( "deprecation" )
As a hack you can not do the import and use the fully qualified name inside the code.
You might also try javac -Xlint:-deprecation not sure if that would address it.
