Bug#283487: can't build deprecated implementations of interfaces

[Loïc Minier]

Package: jikes
Version: 1:1.22-1
Severity: important

     Hi,

 Since 1.22, jikes fails to build implementations of interfaces with
 deprecated methods.  This might cause FTBFS on packages (see #283487
 for an example).

 This is fixed in CVS.

 According to this page:
 <http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/misc/deprecation/deprecated.h=
tml>
 ... it would be nice to have a "-strict" option to promote warnings to
 errors, it seems that as soon as you use -deprecation in something
 like:
bee% jikes -deprecation -d /home/lool/tmp/libservlet2.2-java2/libservlet2.2-java-3.3.1a/build/servletapi/classes -classpath /home/lool/tmp/libservlet2.2-java2/libservlet2.2-java-3.3.1a/build/servletapi/classes:/usr/share/ant1.5/lib/ant.jar:/usr/share/java/xerces.jar:/usr/lib/kaffe/pthreads/jre/lib/rt.jar:/home/lool/tmp/libservlet2.2-java2/libservlet2.2-java-3.3.1a/src/share -g -nowarn -O /home/lool/tmp/libservlet2.2-java2/libservlet2.2-java-3.3.1a/src/share/javax/servlet/http/HttpServlet.java

Found 3 semantic errors compiling "/home/lool/tmp/libservlet2.2-java2/libservlet2.2-java-3.3.1a/src/share/javax/servlet/http/HttpServlet.java":

   944.     public void setStatus(int sc, String sm)
                        ^--------------------------^
*** Semantic Error: The overridden method "void setStatus(int sc, java.lang.String sm);" is deprecated in type "javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse".


   993.     public String encodeUrl(String url)

*** Semantic Error: The overridden method "java.lang.String encodeUrl(java.lang.String url);" is deprecated in type "javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse".

 ... what should be deprecation warnings appear as errors.
