Thanks, I am trying this now.  It seems to be an improvement.

However, when generating signatures on Java SE 8 but testing on Java SE 
11, I cannot seem to ignore/exclude Deprecated annotation that changed 
in Java SE 9.

The Java SE 8 signature for the jakarta.persistence.Persistence class 
contains:

"  anno 0 java.lang.Deprecated()
"

The Java SE 11 signature for the jakarta.persistence.Persistence class 
contains:

"anno 0 java.lang.Deprecated(boolean forRemoval=false, java.lang.String 
since="")
"

When running the test command on Java SE 11 with the signature generated 
under Java SE 8 I see:

"Class jakarta.persistence.Persistence
   Missed Annotations
     PERSISTENCE_PROVIDER:anno 0 java.lang.Deprecated()
     providers:anno 0 java.lang.Deprecated()
   Added Annotations
     PERSISTENCE_PROVIDER:anno 0 java.lang.Deprecated(boolean 
forRemoval=false, java.lang.String since="")
     providers:anno 0 java.lang.Deprecated(boolean forRemoval=false, 
java.lang.String since="")
     finalize():anno 0 java.lang.Deprecated(boolean forRemoval=false, 
java.lang.String since="9")
"

Is there any SigTest magic built in to ignore the Deprecated annotation 
changes?


Thanks,
Scott
