java.lang.Thread.destroy()

This method was originally designed to destroy this thread without any cleanup. Anymonitors it held would have remained locked. However, the method was neverimplemented. If if were to be implemented, it would be deadlock-prone in much the mannerof Thread.suspend(). If the target thread held a lock protecting a critical system resourcewhen it was destroyed, no thread could ever access this resource again. If another threadever attempted to lock this resource, deadlock would result. Such deadlocks typicallymanifest themselves as "frozen" processes.

As of Swing version 1.0.3, replaced by doLayout().

java.lang.ThreadGroup.stop()

This method is inherently unsafe. See Thread.stop() for details.

java.lang.Thread.stop()

This method is inherently unsafe. Stopping a thread with Thread.stop causes it to unlock allof the monitors that it has locked (as a natural consequence of the unchecked ThreadDeath

exception propagating up the stack). If any of the objects previously protected by thesemonitors were in an inconsistent state, the damaged objects become visible to otherthreads, potentially resulting in arbitrary behavior. Many uses of stop should be replaced bycode that simply modifies some variable to indicate that the target thread should stoprunning. The target thread should check this variable regularly, and return from its runmethod in an orderly fashion if the variable indicates that it is to stop running. If the targetthread waits for long periods (on a condition variable, for example), the interrupt methodshould be used to interrupt the wait. For more information, see Why are Thread.stop,Thread.suspend and Thread.resume Deprecated?.

java.lang.Thread.stop(Throwable)

This method was originally designed to force a thread to stop and throw a given Throwableas an exception. It was inherently unsafe (see Thread.stop() for details), and furthermorecould be used to generate exceptions that the target thread was not prepared to handle. Formore information, see Why are Thread.stop, Thread.suspend and Thread.resumeDeprecated?.

java.lang.ThreadGroup.suspend()

This method is inherently deadlock-prone. See Thread.suspend() for details.

java.lang.Thread.suspend()

This method has been deprecated, as it is inherently deadlock-prone. If the target threadholds a lock on the monitor protecting a critical system resource when it is suspended, nothread can access this resource until the target thread is resumed. If the thread that wouldresume the target thread attempts to lock this monitor prior to calling resume, deadlockresults. Such deadlocks typically manifest themselves as "frozen" processes. For moreinformation, see Why are Thread.stop, Thread.suspend and Thread.resumeDeprecated?.

java.util.Date.toGMTString()

As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by DateFormat.format(Date date), using a GMT TimeZone.

java.rmi.server.Operation.toString()

no replacement

java.rmi.server.LogStream.toString()

no replacement

java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream.toString(int)

This method does not properly convert bytes into characters. As of JDK 1.1, the preferredway to do this is via the toString(String enc) method, which takes an encoding-nameargument, or the toString() method, which uses the platform's default character encoding.

java.io.File.toURL()

This method does not automatically escape characters that are illegal in URLs. It isrecommended that new code convert an abstract pathname into a URL by first converting itinto a URI, via the toURI method, and then converting the URI into a URL via the URI.toURLmethod.

javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalScrollPaneUI.uninstallListeners(JScrollPane)

- Replaced by MetalScrollPaneUI.uninstallListeners(JComponent)

java.util.Date.UTC(int, int, int, int, int, int)

no replacement

java.io.ObjectOutputStream.PutField.write(ObjectOutput)

This method does not write the values contained by this PutField object in a proper format,and may result in corruption of the serialization stream. The correct way to write PutFielddata is by calling the ObjectOutputStream.writeFields() method.

As of JDK version 1.1, the preferred way to tokenize an input stream is to convert it into acharacter stream, for example:

Reader r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is)); StreamTokenizer st = new StreamTokenizer(r);

java.lang.String(byte[], int)

This method does not properly convert bytes into characters. As of JDK 1.1, the preferredway to do this is via the String constructors that take a Charset, charset name, or thatuse the platform's default charset.

java.lang.String(byte[], int, int, int)

This method does not properly convert bytes into characters. As of JDK 1.1, the preferredway to do this is via the String constructors that take a Charset, charset name, or thatuse the platform's default charset.
