Deprecated Classes

Class and Description
org.apache.bcel.util.ClassVector as of 5.1.1 - 7/17/2005

Deprecated Fields

Field and Description
org.apache.bcel.Constants.ATTR_RUNTIMEINVISIBLE_ANNOTATIONS Use Constants.ATTR_RUNTIME_INVISIBLE_ANNOTATIONS instead
org.apache.bcel.Constants.ATTR_RUNTIMEINVISIBLE_PARAMETER_ANNOTATIONS Use Constants.ATTR_RUNTIME_INVISIBLE_PARAMETER_ANNOTATIONS instead
org.apache.bcel.Constants.ATTR_RUNTIMEVISIBLE_ANNOTATIONS Use Constants.ATTR_RUNTIME_VISIBLE_ANNOTATIONS instead
org.apache.bcel.Constants.ATTR_RUNTIMEVISIBLE_PARAMETER_ANNOTATIONS Use Constants.ATTR_RUNTIME_VISIBLE_PARAMETER_ANNOTATIONS instead

Deprecated Methods

Method and Description
org.apache.bcel.generic.ReferenceType.firstCommonSuperclass(ReferenceType) use getFirstCommonSuperclass(ReferenceType t) which has slightly changed semantics.
org.apache.bcel.generic.FieldOrMethod.getClassName(ConstantPoolGen) If the instruction references an array class, this method will return "java.lang.Object". For code generated by Java 1.5, this answer is sometimes wrong (e.g., if the "clone()" method is called on an array). A better idea is to use the getReferenceType() method, which correctly distinguishes between class types and array types.
org.apache.bcel.generic.FieldOrMethod.getClassType(ConstantPoolGen) If the instruction references an array class, the ObjectType returned will be invalid. Use getReferenceType() instead.
org.apache.bcel.generic.Instruction.getComparator() use the built in comparator, or wrap this class in another object that implements these methods
org.apache.bcel.classfile.LocalVariableTable.getLocalVariable(int) since 5.2 because multiple variables can share the same slot, use getLocalVariable(int index, int pc) instead.
org.apache.bcel.generic.ObjectType.referencesClass() this method returns an inaccurate result if the class or interface referenced cannot be found: use referencesClassExact() instead
org.apache.bcel.generic.ObjectType.referencesInterface() this method returns an inaccurate result if the class or interface referenced cannot be found: use referencesInterfaceExact() instead
org.apache.bcel.classfile.ConstantUtf8.setBytes(String)
org.apache.bcel.generic.Instruction.setComparator(InstructionComparator) use the built in comparator, or wrap this class in another object that implements these methods

Deprecated Constructors

Constructor and Description
org.apache.bcel.util.ClassPath() Use SYSTEM_CLASS_PATH constant
