Oracle 10.2 Loadjava for SQLJ says "..uses or overrides deprecated API"

Question

I just upgraded to 10.2 from 8.1.7 (platform is AIX 5L) and sqlj program was INVALID after upgrade.Running loadjava on the program seems successfull, and java class is VALID, but also get:
Note: MQBridge uses or overrides a deprecated API.          
Note: Recompile with -deprecation for details.
Well, after lots of reading to try and assess the significance of the error and identify the deprecated API, I think the sqlj script on UNIX will allow me to issue the 'deprecated' option to perhaps identify the old API. However, the I'm having trouble even getting the sqlj to work (I think it's in $OH/oc4j/bin with non-executable permissions) and the README in $OH/sqlj/demo seems incorrect.
The APIs in the program are:
import oracle.sqlj.runtime.Oracle
import java.sql.SQLException
import oracle.sql.CLOB
import com.ibm.mq.*
import java.math.BigDecimal
import java.util.*
import javax.swing.event.*
Perhaps someone versed in this arena can provide some guidance in what seems to be a straighforward problem (or maybe not a problem)? Sure would appreciate it!

HI,
In my opinion, upgrading the RDBMS might not suffices.
I'd re-install SQLJ 10.2f rom the companion CD and check that its working fine in your environment using the following command:
$ sqlj -version
Oracle SQLJ Release 10.2.0.1.0 Production
Copyright (c) 1997, 2005, Oracle Corporation. All Rights Reserved.Oracle furnishes the following code samples under
$ORACLE_HOME/sqlj/demo/ to check your environment:
connect.properties // to be customized to your environment
TestInstallCreateTable.java
TestInstallJDBC.java
TestInstallSQLJ.sqlj
TestInstallSQLJChecker.sqlj
Then make sure that:
- the executables (script and binaries) are available under $ORACLE_HOME/bin.
- the PATH environment variable must include $ORACLE_HOME/bin.
- the CLASSPATH environment variable must include the following:
- the JDBC jars (ojdbc14.jar, or clases12.jar)
- ORACLE_HOME/sqlj/lib/translator.jar
- ORACLE_HOME/sqlj/lib/runtime12.jar
As described in chapter 10 of my book, here is how to use them to check
your environment:
// create a table for test purposes
$ javac TestInstallCreateTable.java
$ java -Doracle.net.tns_admin=$TNS_ADMIN TestInstallCreateTable
SALES table created
$
// Check JDBC install
$ javac TestInstallJDBC.java
$ java -Doracle.net.tns_admin=$TNS_ADMIN TestInstallJDBC
Hello JDBC!
$
// Check the SQLJ translator, runtime, and the application
$ sqlj TestInstallSQLJ.sqlj
$ java -Doracle.net.tns_admin=$TNS_ADMIN TestInstallSQLJ
Hello, SQLJ!
$Then check that SQLJ is installed in the database using
SQL> describe sys.sqljutlOtherwise, run the sqljutl.sql script to install it. In addition, the following query checks the availability of the SQLJ translator in the database (using system or a DBA account)
SQL> select object_type, status from all_objects where
2 dbms_java.longname(object_name) ='oracle/sqlj/checker/JdbcVersion';See chapter 10, 11 and 12 of my book for further coverage..
