what is the intention of this change? #finalize is called by the JDK and not by user code. The javac already reports overrides of #finalize as warnings, if you compile against a JDK that actually has the deprecation and if the warnings will be visible. You can test this with your sample, change ide/editor.lib/project.properties to hold: javac.compilerargs=-Xlint:unchecked -Xmaxwarns 2000 javac.source=8 javac.target=11 Then you'll find: /home/matthias/src/netbeans/ide/editor.lib/src/org/netbeans/editor/MarkBlock.java:555: warning: [deprecation] finalize() in Object has been deprecated protected void finalize() throws Throwable { /home/matthias/src/netbeans/ide/editor.lib/src/org/netbeans/editor/MarkBlock.java:557: warning: [deprecation] finalize() in Object has been deprecated super.finalize(); It will not stand out inside the 600+ other warnings.
