Description Milan Kubec 2004-12-01 15:08:19 UTC 
It would be very useful if editor would show
something like deprecated annotation, similar to
error annotation but in different color. Or in
more general way - warning annotation - that would
underline any warnings in code.
Comment 1 Roman Strobl 2004-12-07 14:42:57 UTC 
Changing subcomponent to annotations.

Hasn't this been done?  I'm currently editing a java source file in NB 5.0 that
contains a call to a deprecated method, and can see a "yellow X" warning
annotation in the left margin with corresponding yellow bar in the error stripe
on the right.  Hovering the mouse over the annotation produces a popup box with
a message along the lines of
"warning: [deprecation] obsoleteMethod() in foo.bar.ThatClass has been deprecated"

The only thing it lacks is for the popup to also display the text that follows
the @deprecated tag in ThatClass.obsoleteMethod()'s javadocs, telling me what I
should now be using instead.
Comment 3 Vitezslav Stejskal 2007-07-19 13:45:48 UTC 
Already done.
