"jdeprscan jar_file" - Deprecated API of JAR File

This section provides a tutorial example on how to use 'jdeprscan' command to scan for deprecated APIs of a given JAR file.

If you want to find out what deprecated APIs are used in a given JAR file, you can run the "jdeprscan jar_file" command.

Let's use the dt.jar JAR file of JDK 8 as an example:

herong> jdeprscan --version
12.0.1

herong> jdeprscan \Progra~1\java\jdk-8.0.1\lib\dt.jar
Jar file \Progra~1\java\jdk-8.0.1\lib\dt.jar:
class javax/swing/AbstractButtonBeanInfo uses deprecated method
   java/lang/Integer::<init>(I)V
class javax/swing/JComponentBeanInfo uses deprecated method
   java/lang/Integer::<init>(I)V
class javax/swing/JDesktopPaneBeanInfo uses deprecated method
   java/lang/Integer::<init>(I)V
class javax/swing/JDialogBeanInfo uses deprecated method
   java/lang/Integer::<init>(I)V
class javax/swing/JFileChooserBeanInfo uses deprecated method
   java/lang/Integer::<init>(I)V
...
