Build 20020813

The compiler generates a warning when code implements a deprecated method. 
However, since there is no way to resolve this (we must implement every 
method in an interface), I don't think a warning should be generated for 
this case. The only time it's useful to warn the user about deprecation is 
when they call a deprecated method.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create an interface with a deprecated method.
2. Create a class which implements that interface and implements the method 
as required.
3. A compiler warning is generated which states, "This method overrides 
deprecated method from <interface name>"
Comment 1 Jerome Lanneluc CLA 2002-08-20 07:03:54 EDT 
Tagging the overiding method with @deprecated will remove the warning.
Comment 2 Philipe Mulet CLA 2002-09-04 12:12:38 EDT 
Generalized this by adding an option for filtering all deprecation warnings 
inside deprecated code.
Comment 3 David Audel CLA 2002-09-19 06:48:25 EDT 
Verified.
