Dear Glenn,
Deprecated APIs, components, etc. are those that have been changed or
dropped in the current Java implementation and will not be supported at
all in the next major revision. You can go ahead and use them, but be
aware they won't work with some other people's JVM, browser, etc. as
THEY upgrade.
