org.openide.filesystems.DefaultAttributes.ATTR_NAME does not handle XML attributes
org.openide.filesystems.DefaultAttributes.ATTR_NAME_EXT does not handle XML attributes
org.openide.filesystems.FileSystem.PROP_HIDDEN The property is now hidden.
org.openide.filesystems.FileSystem.PROP_SYSTEM_NAME This system name should now be avoided in favor of identifying files persistently by URL.
org.openide.filesystems.AbstractFileSystem.List.serialVersionUID Only public by accident.
org.openide.filesystems.AbstractFileSystem.Change.serialVersionUID Only public by accident.
org.openide.filesystems.AbstractFileSystem.Transfer.serialVersionUID Only public by accident.

org.openide.filesystems.AbstractFileSystem.Attr.serialVersionUID Only public by accident.

Deprecated Methods

Method and Description
org.openide.filesystems.Repository.addFileChangeListener(FileChangeListener) useless because there is no filesystem but only default filesystem in Repository. Add new listener directly to default filesystem Repository.getDefaultFileSystem().
org.openide.filesystems.Repository.addFileSystem(FileSystem) Please use the ClassPath API instead.
org.openide.filesystems.Repository.addRepositoryListener(RepositoryListener) Please use the ClassPath API instead.
org.openide.filesystems.FileUtil.extractJar(FileObject, InputStream) Use of XML filesystem layers generally obsoletes this method. For tests, use org.openide.util.test.TestFileUtils#unpackZipFile.
org.openide.filesystems.Repository.fileSystems() Please use the ClassPath API instead.
org.openide.filesystems.FileSystem.find(String, String, String) Please use the ClassPath API instead, or use FileSystem.findResource(java.lang.String) if you are not interested in classpaths.
org.openide.filesystems.MultiFileSystem.find(String, String, String)
org.openide.filesystems.Repository.find(String, String, String) Please use the ClassPath API instead.
org.openide.filesystems.Repository.findAll(String, String, String) Please use the ClassPath API instead.
org.openide.filesystems.Repository.findAllResources(String) Please use the ClassPath API instead.
org.openide.filesystems.URLMapper.findFileObjects(URL) Use URLMapper.findFileObject(java.net.URL) instead.
org.openide.filesystems.Repository.findFileSystem(String) Please use the ClassPath API instead.
org.openide.filesystems.Repository.findResource(String) Please use the ClassPath API instead.
org.openide.filesystems.FileUtil.fromFile(File) Use FileUtil.toFileObject(java.io.File) instead.
org.openide.filesystems.Repository.getDefaultFileSystem() Please use FileUtil.getConfigFile(String) or FileUtil.getConfigRoot() instead.
org.openide.filesystems.Repository.getFileSystems() Please use the ClassPath API instead.
org.openide.filesystems.FileUtil.getMIMEType(String) use FileUtil.getMIMEType(FileObject) or FileUtil.getMIMEType(FileObject, String[]) as MIME cannot be generally detected by file object extension.
org.openide.filesystems.FileObject.getPackageName(char) Please use the ClassPath API instead.
org.openide.filesystems.FileObject.getPackageNameExt(char, char) Please use the ClassPath API instead.
org.openide.filesystems.FileSystem.getSystemName() The system name should now be avoided in favor of identifying files persistently by URL.
org.openide.filesystems.FileObject.getURL() Use FileObject.toURL() instead.
org.openide.filesystems.FileObject.isReadOnly() Please use the FileObject.canWrite().
org.openide.filesystems.FileUtil.nbfsURLStreamHandler() No longer used.
org.openide.filesystems.FileUtil.preventFileChooserSymlinkTraversal(JFileChooser, File) Just use JFileChooser.setCurrentDirectory(java.io.File). JDK 6 does not have this bug.
org.openide.filesystems.Repository.readExternal(ObjectInput) Unused.
org.openide.filesystems.Repository.removeFileChangeListener(FileChangeListener) useless because there is no filesystem but only default filesystem in Repository. Add new listener directly to default filesystem Repository.getDefaultFileSystem().
org.openide.filesystems.Repository.removeFileSystem(FileSystem) Please use the ClassPath API instead.
org.openide.filesystems.Repository.removeRepositoryListener(RepositoryListener) Please use the ClassPath API instead.
org.openide.filesystems.Repository.reorder(int[]) Please use the ClassPath API instead.
org.openide.filesystems.FileObject.setImportant(boolean) No longer used. Instead use SharabilityQuery.
org.openide.filesystems.FileSystem.setSystemName(String) The system name should now be avoided in favor of identifying files persistently by URL.
org.openide.filesystems.Repository.toArray() Please use the ClassPath API instead.
org.openide.filesystems.Repository.writeExternal(ObjectOutput) Unused.

Deprecated Constructors

Constructor and Description
org.openide.filesystems.MIMEResolver() Use MIMEResolver.MIMEResolver(String...) instead. Declaring MIME types which can only be resolved by this resolver helps to speed up IDE.
