Deprecate the Applet API for removal. It is essentially irrelevant since all web-browser vendors have either removed support for Java browser plug-ins or announced plans to do so.
HistoryThe Applet API was previously deprecated, though not for removal, by JEP 289 in Java 9.
DescriptionDeprecate, for removal, these classes and interfaces of the standard Java API:
java.applet.Applet
java.applet.AppletStub
java.applet.AppletContext
java.applet.AudioClip
javax.swing.JApplet
java.beans.AppletInitializer
Deprecate, for removal, any API elements that reference the above classes and interfaces, including methods and fields in:
java.beans.Beans
javax.swing.RepaintManager
javax.naming.Context
Hundreds of tests need to be either modified or removed before the Applet API is removed, but this JEP is solely about deprecation-for-removal. We will review these tests to determine if further @SuppressWarnings
annotations are required.
In case remaining uses of these APIs do exist, developers can suppress compiler warnings via the @SuppressWarnings("removal")
annotation or the -Xlint:-removal
command-line option of the javac
compiler.
