Build 20050330 Along the line of bug 83643, last comment, the outliner will not render @Deprecated annotations as deprecated, since the model did not encode this information into the modifier flags. The reason for it is that this would require some resolution (could be another @Deprecated annotation type out there).
Given the outliner has the DOM AST anyway, it could figure out the information and present it to the user.
Philippe, this doable for the Outline however not for other JDT views. The problem is that we show the deprecate information (strike through of the icon) in all Java views (e.g. package explorer, type hiararchy, ...) and they don't have an AST around to compute the information.
Philippe only doing this for the outliner will ask for more PRS since users will miss it in the package explorer, browsing view, search result, .... What's about assuming that @Deprecate always is a real deprecate. If somebody redefines it he is stupid anyways.
I had guessed you would suggest cheating. This would only be a custom hack for the model; but this means you couldn't tell the difference, and this could induce discrepancies between model reconcile and build time if one does redefine the offending annotation type. Jerome - I think this is the best we can do for 3.1, and will solve 99% of the problem. However, the model has to do it on its own, since the compiler support is only triggered during resolution (i.e. too late in your case).
Any more work on this? This thread is pretty old, but the bug still exists. I find it annoying to have to add a javadoc comment /** @deprecated */ after I've already annotated a field/method as @Deprecated, just to get eclipse to show it correctly in the outline view. build I20051102-1600
Agree we should solve this for 3.2. Cheating is likely the best we can do (i.e. since we do not resolve, simply assume presence of @Deprecated means it is deprecated).
Changed SourceElementParser#notifySourcElementRequestor(*) to check if the declaration is annotated with an annotation with the "Deprecated" simple name. Added regression tests CompilationUnitTests#testDeprecatedFlags07/09.
Verified for 3.2M6 using build I20060328-0010.
