Hi Shawn,

whoops, I hope you didn't feel offended, that wasn't my intention.

I can absolutely feel with you. When browsing the Studio code there is
no class without warning where deprecated APIs (especially from Eclipse
framework) are used. And even if we migrated from JNDI to LDAP API,
there are still places where JNDI classes are used as it's heavy
interweaved. The worst part for me is that I think I spend 80% of the
time with changes to keep it running on new Eclipse and Java versions.

Kind Regards,
Stefan
