Classes that are unofficially deprecated are considered to be obsoleteA class is obsolete if it is unofficially deprecated. For example, the java.util.Dictionary class provides the same functionality as the Map interface and is generally outmoded. The java.util.Calendar class suffers from multi-threading related issues and so does ; its subclasses, such as java.util.GregorianCalendar, share these problems. Similarly, all of the subclasses of the abstract class java.text.Format are thread-unsafe. These classes must be avoided in multi-threaded code.
