Deprecated Classes

javax.accessibility.AccessibleResourceBundle
This class is deprecated as of version 1.3 of the Java Platform.

org.xml.sax.helpers.AttributeListImpl
This class implements a deprecated interface, AttributeList; that interface has been replaced by Attributes, which is implemented in the AttributesImpl helper class.

javax.management.DefaultLoaderRepository

Use MBeanServer.getClassLoaderRepository()} instead.

javax.swing.text.DefaultTextUI

org.omg.CORBA.DynamicImplementation
org.omg.CORBA.DynamicImplementation

org.xml.sax.HandlerBase
This class works with the deprecated DocumentHandler interface. It has been replaced by the SAX2 DefaultHandler class.

java.security.Identity
This class is no longer used. Its functionality has been replaced by java.security.KeyStore, the java.security.cert package, and java.security.Principal.

java.security.IdentityScope
This class is no longer used. Its functionality has been replaced by java.security.KeyStore, the java.security.cert package, and java.security.Principal.

          (CodeSource cs,
           PermissionCollection permissions,
           ClassLoader loader,
           Principal[] principals)
