Enhanced@Deprecated Annotation

@Deprecated Annotation was launched in java 5 Version. Program components annotated with @deprecated means it must not be used for any of the reason which given below:

• Its use may show the error
• It might be incompatible in the upcoming versions
• It might be detached in the upcoming Versions
• Its good and well-organized alternative has replaced it.

Assembler produces a warning whenever a deprecated component is used. With the Java 9 launch, two new improvements are made to @deprecated Annotation

• forRemoval − Shows whether the annotated component is subject to detachment in upcoming versions. The default value is false.
• since − Back with the version in which the annotated components became deprecated. The default value is the empty(vacant) string.
