RFR: JDK-8160601: unexpected error compiling @Deprecated package

[Jan Lahoda]

Hi,

Having a package-info.java like this:
/**
  * @deprecated This is a deprecated package.
  */
@Deprecated
package com.example.foobar;

javac reports:
$ javac package-info.java
package-info.java:5: error: modifier deprecated not allowed here
package com.example.foobar;
^
1 error

This is because the @deprecated tag is internally in the parser viewed 
as a modifier, and packages cannot have modifiers. The tag is wrong on a 
package, of course, but it is in a comment, so javac should not report a 
compile-time error.

The proposed fix is to simply ignore the deprecated internal flag when 
verifying the package does not have modifiers. There is already a 
similar code for modules.

Proposed webrev:

JBS:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8160601

How does this look?

Thanks,
    Jan
