Marking it deprecated would probably be a good idea, at least the JDK7 javadocs don't warn developers in any way about the implications of using getScaledInstance(). Maybe something like getScaledCopy() could be provided as replacement (I've never seen code where the in-sync feature of getScaledInstance was used intentionally). - Clemens
