message. [*] The compiler will flag a now-obsolete API as “deprecated”. The word means “officially disapproved of”. Compile again with the “-deprecation” option to see what is deprecated. In almost all cases, the old API has been replaced by a new one. Update your code to use the new one. An example of using a deprecated API is calling component.size(). That has been replaced by component.getSize().

The World Wide Web Consortium–the organizational body that publishes the standard HTML specifications–doesn’t want you to use local formatting and thus has marked certain tags for eventual removal. They’d prefer you use CSS to format your documents. While deprecated tags are still currently “proper” HTML, the W3C says it plans to drop those tags at some point in the future. But, in my opinion, no browser will stop supporting them for many years to come.
