Getting rid of warning

[Shweta Grewal]

I am using ant to compile a package, it gives following warning repeatedly:

warning: sun.misc.BASE64Encoder is Sun proprietary API and may be removed in a future release
[javac] BASE64Encoder encoder = new BASE64Encoder();

How can I get rid of the warning?

Your best option would be to fix the use of deprecated APIs. However, an option would be to add the @SupressWarnings("deprecation") annotation to the classes or methods that are using the deprecated APIs.

add the @SupressWarnings("deprecation") annotation to the classes or methods that are using the deprecated APIs.

How to do that?

Are you doing any kind of automation?

[linda russel]

you need to add those annotations to your tests to ignore

What is the Java file which is using this:

BASE64Encoder encoder = new BASE64Encoder();

There are a lot of them I cant change all of them.

Then the only way to get rid of those warning messages is to set the nowarn attribute of Ant's javac task http://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/javac.html in your build file.

By the way, whoever is using that sun.misc.BASE64Encoder class shouldn't be using it. I don't this those classes will be able to compile/run against anything other than Sun/Oracle JDK/JRE.

Not working.I set nowarn attribute to "yes" but still there are warnings

Post the relevant snippet from your build.xml which contains this change and also post the entire log output which shows this warning.

[Shweta Grewal]

<javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${build}/${webapp_name}/WEB-INF/classes" debug="on" encoding="iso-8859-1" nowarn="Yes">
</javac>

Shweta, it's not going to help if you don't fully read the replies and provide relevant answers for the questions. Please read my previous post again and post what's asked for. We might have more questions later on, to see why it isn't working, this is just a start.
