deprecatedOverriding

@getter @setter @beanGetter @beanSetter @deprecatedInheritance("Scheduled for being final in the future", "2.13.0") class deprecatedOverriding(message: String, since: String) extends StaticAnnotation

An annotation that designates that overriding a member is deprecated.

Overriding such a member in a sub-class then generates a warning.

Library authors should state the library's deprecation policy in their documentation to give developers guidance on when a method annotated with @deprecatedOverriding will be finalized.

Library authors should prepend the name of their library to the version number to help developers distinguish deprecations coming from different libraries:

class Foo {
  @deprecatedOverriding("this method will be made final", "FooLib 12.0")
  def add(x: Int, y: Int) = x + y
}
class Bar extends Foo // no deprecation warning
class Baz extends Foo {
  override def add(x: Int, y: Int) = x - y
}
// warning: overriding method add in class Foo is deprecated (since FooLib 12.0): this method will be made final
// override def add(x: Int, y: Int) = x - y
//              ^
Value Params
