Or maybe we could put together an all-encompassing
TestDeprecatedMethods that at least had calls to all the methods
we've deprecated, but doesn't necessarily test return values or
behavior. Then we could fix all the deprecation warnings in the
other test cases and leave this as the one test that at least the
method signatures are viable (and we can be reasonably sure that if
the method signatures still work that the behavior has not changed,
I presume).
creating an all-encompassing TestDeprecatedMethods class seems to be
more difficult than it looks for the moment. Wouldn't it be easier to
copy the Testcases from 1.4.2 in a seperate, new folder
"test-deprecated" and leave them as they are. All work, removing
deprecation warnings, add new test cases could be done without
modifying the originals within the new folder. When we run the
ant-task on both directories, we can make sure that both, the
deprecated and new methods are working properly.

seems to do what we want with minimal effort
I tried it on my local environement and it looks fine to me. It's not
that much work to create a copy of the test cases from 1.4.2. Adding a
new ant task "test-deprecated" which uses the test classes located in
"src/test-deprecated" is a is trivial too. At least it is just a copy of
the existing "test" task with modified directory names. Having all
together, users can run both tests "ant test" or "ant test-deprecated".
The only question still open, if we want to have all the duplicated test
cases in CVS or do we leave it to the user if he wants to run the
outdated, deprecated tests. My suggestion is to add both, the modified
build.xml and the test cases to CVS and delete them step by step when
switching to version 2.0
