Interface and Description
edu.umd.cs.findbugs.ba.JavaClassAndMethodChooser

Deprecated Classes

Class and Description
edu.umd.cs.findbugs.detect.BuildNonNullAnnotationDatabase AnnotationDatabases are being phased out, since annotations are now stored directly in the XClass/XMethod/XField objects. Resolving nullness annotations will be handled through the JSR-305 type qualifier code.

Deprecated Annotation Types

Annotation Type and Description
edu.umd.cs.findbugs.annotations.CheckForNull - use CheckForNull instead.
edu.umd.cs.findbugs.annotations.CheckReturnValue - use CheckReturnValue instead.
edu.umd.cs.findbugs.annotations.DefaultAnnotation - Use the JSR305 annotations instead. For example, you can use ParametersAreNonnullByDefault instead of @DefaultAnnotation(NonNull.class) so that method parameters are nonnull by default in the annotated element. You can also use TypeQualifierDefault in general to define your own annotation that specifies a default type qualifier. For example, Nonnegative TypeQualifierDefault(ElementType.PARAMETER) public @interface ParametersAreNonnegativeByDefault {} The JSR305 CheckReturnValue annotation can be applied to a type or package, and it will act as a default for all methods in that class or package unless otherwise overridden.
edu.umd.cs.findbugs.annotations.DefaultAnnotationForFields
edu.umd.cs.findbugs.annotations.DefaultAnnotationForMethods
edu.umd.cs.findbugs.annotations.DefaultAnnotationForParameters - use the JSR305 annotations instead, For example, you can use ParametersAreNonnullByDefault instead of @DefaultAnnotation(NonNull.class), and TypeQualifierDefault in general to define a type qualifier default. The JSR305 CheckReturnValue annotation can be applied to a type or package, and it will act as a default for all methods in that class or package unless otherwise overridden.
edu.umd.cs.findbugs.annotations.NonNull - use Nonnull instead.
edu.umd.cs.findbugs.annotations.Nullable - use Nullable instead.
edu.umd.cs.findbugs.annotations.OverrideMustInvoke - Use OverridingMethodsMustInvokeSuper instead
edu.umd.cs.findbugs.annotations.PossiblyNull - use CheckForNull instead; the name of which more clearly indicates that not only could the value be null, but that good coding practice requires that the value be checked for null.
edu.umd.cs.findbugs.annotations.ReturnValuesAreNonnullByDefault
edu.umd.cs.findbugs.annotations.SuppressWarnings - Use SuppressFBWarnings instead
