Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-2185:
-------------------------------------
Steven, yeah i know theoretically why this is here, but it is completely stupid.
@Deprecated is a gigantic mistake, requiring me to write it twice, once
lowercase in the javadocs, once uppercase as an annotation. This is the only
way to properly deprecate something with a message as to why.
and so this additional work buys me nothing, except some theoretical workaround
to sun's piss-poor broken language design.
this being said, i still think we should be consistent: either remove all these
annotations or add them all, and not just use them 'sometime'.

> This patch adds the missing annotations... unfortunately i cannot commit this
> for some time, because my internet connection does not support heavy
> committing (it is difficult to even upload a large patch).
> So if someone wants to take it, have fun, otherwise in a week or so I will
> commit it if nobody objects.
