Description dabar 2006-01-20 10:15:53 UTC

When using Netbeans Editor, once you type a line of code using a deprecated 
API, it underlines the code and says the API is deprecated. In most API 
documentations, the API developer suggests to you which newer API is 
appropriate to use. 

the Enhancement is that the Code Tip engine should be able to check APIs with 
@deprecated tag where developers are expected to specify the replacing API. 
The editor suggestion can parse the suggestion from the API and show it as a 
Tip.
