Hi,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Someone might have a more authoritative answer, but seeing as this is in an internal class for which we don’t publish javadoc I’d say the malformed javadoc tag is a non-issue and shouldn’t affect any decision to have this method (and the associated deprecated
interface) removed. Marking internal classes/methods deprecated-for-removal is unnecessary since they're not part of the public API.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>Claes</div>

<div>Hi,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>While investigating methods annotated as @Deprecated, but with missing @deprecated javadoc tags, I discovered that sun.net.w.p.h.HttpURLConnection.setDefaultAuthenticator has a trailing period after its @deprecated tag, causing javac to not recognize it
as such.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Some observations:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>o The method has had this invalid <a class="gmail_plusreply" id="m_6761717428841858628gmail-plusReplyChip-3">@deprecated</a> note since the initial load </div>
<div>o It was marked @Deprecated in Java 8</div>
<div>o It seems to be unused across the OpenJDK code base, including tests</div>
<div>o The class seems internal, given that its package is exported only to java.security.jgss</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What is the right step forward here?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>0: Do nothing, nobody complained so far</div>
<div>1: Fix the @deprecated tag issue</div>
<div>2: Mark the @Deprecated forRemoval=true</div>
<div>3: Remove the method and the private static field now</div>
<div>4: Something else</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
