Wiki Markup
Never use deprecated fields, methods, or classes in new code. The Java SE 6 documentation provides a [complete list|http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/deprecated-list.html] of deprecated APIs \[[API 2006|AA. Bibliography#API 06]\]. Java provides a {{@deprecated}} annotation to indicate the deprecation of specific fields, methods, and classes.  For instance, many methods of {{java.util.Date}}, such as {{Date.getYear()}}, have been explicitly deprecated.  The rule [THI05-J. Do not use Thread.stop() to terminate threads|THI05THI06-J. Do not use Thread.stop() to terminate threads] describes issues that can result from using the deprecated {{Thread.stop()}} method.
