Re: How many deprecated methods have been removed?

Beats me.. Why the concern? they can't be used..

It's just for curiosity. They can't be used, but do they exist? I know SUN
is very worried about compatibility issues, but sometimes I get worried my
self about how can Java, bytecode spec and JVM improve if they keep always
sopporting deprecated things. I like the compatiblity SUN guarantees among
Java versions but I believe that, at least once and a while, this
compatibility should be broken to make things different, better.

Scirious.
