Apache Maven JDeprScan Plugin
The Maven JDeprScan plugin is used to scan class files for uses of deprecated API elements.
NOTE: This is an alpha release which means everything can change until we reach the first milestone release.
Goals Overview
The JDeprScan Plugin has four goals:
- jdeprscan:jdeprscan scans the main sources for deprecated APIs.
- jdeprscan:test-jdeprscan scans the test sources for deprecated APIs.
- jdeprscan:list Prints the set of deprecated APIs. No scanning is done, so no directory, jar, or class arguments should be provided.
- jdeprscan:help displays help information on maven-jdeprscan-plugin.
Usage
General instructions on how to use the JDeprScan Plugin can be found on the usage page. Some more specific use cases are described in the examples given below.
