Deprecated Interfaces

Interface and Description
org.openide.cookies.ConnectionCookie Should no longer be used.
org.openide.cookies.FilterCookie Use Looks instead.

Deprecated Classes

Class and Description
org.openide.nodes.IndexedCustomizer Better to use Index.Support.showIndexedCustomizer(org.openide.nodes.Index) which behaves better with the window system.

Deprecated Fields

Field and Description
org.openide.nodes.Node.Handle.serialVersionUID Only public by accident.
org.openide.nodes.AbstractNode.systemActions Override Node.getActions(boolean) instead of using this field.

Deprecated Methods

Method and Description
org.openide.util.actions.NodeAction.actionPerformed(ActionEvent) Using a special action event in this way is deprecated. Better is to use NodeAction.createContextAwareInstance(org.openide.util.Lookup) and pass a lookup containing all desired Node instances.
org.openide.nodes.FilterNode.Children.add(Node[])
org.openide.nodes.Children.Keys.add(Node[]) Do not use! Just call Children.Keys.setKeys(Collection) with a larger set.
org.openide.nodes.AbstractNode.createActions() Override Node.getActions(boolean) instead.
org.openide.nodes.FilterNode.getActions()
org.openide.nodes.AbstractNode.getActions() Override Node.getActions(boolean) instead.
org.openide.nodes.Node.getActions() Use getActions (false) instead.
org.openide.nodes.FilterNode.getContextActions()
org.openide.nodes.Node.getContextActions() Use getActions (true) instead.
org.openide.nodes.FilterNode.getDefaultAction()
org.openide.nodes.AbstractNode.getDefaultAction() Use AbstractNode.getPreferredAction() instead.
org.openide.nodes.Node.getDefaultAction() Use Node.getPreferredAction() instead.
org.openide.nodes.NodeOp.getDefaultActions() Do not use this method. It is useless now.
org.openide.util.actions.NodeAction.performAction() Do not call this programmatically. Use NodeAction.createContextAwareInstance(org.openide.util.Lookup) to pass in a node selection. Do not override this method.
org.openide.nodes.FilterNode.Children.remove(Node[])
org.openide.nodes.Children.Keys.remove(Node[]) Do not use! Just call Children.Keys.setKeys(Collection) with a smaller set.
org.openide.nodes.AbstractNode.setCookieSet(CookieSet) just use getCookieSet().add(...) instead
org.openide.nodes.AbstractNode.setDefaultAction(SystemAction) Override AbstractNode.getPreferredAction() instead.
org.openide.nodes.NodeOp.setDefaultActions(SystemAction[]) Useless.
org.openide.nodes.Node.setHidden(boolean) Has no effect. To make a node disappear, simply remove it from the children of its parent. For example, you might call Children.Keys.setKeys(Collection) with a smaller collection.
org.openide.nodes.AbstractNode.setIconBase(String) Use AbstractNode.setIconBaseWithExtension(java.lang.String)
