JDK-6481080 - (ann) @Deprecated annotation has no effect on packages
Description
As of fix for JDK-6481080, @Deprecated annotation is no longer recognized for packages, thus it follows that the @deprecated should also follow the JLS and should not recognize them, a separate bug has been filed to enhance doclint and javac's xlint, to emit warnings if such an annotation or tag exists in packages, see JDK-8140772
Comments
This should include both the @deprecated tag and the @Deprecated annotation
