Suppress deprecated warning?

Question

My code is extending an abstract class. In the abstract class they have added a @deprecated tag above the no arg constructor. In my class I'm not defining a no arg constructor and I'm getting the warmingwarning: [deprecation] AbstractAuthenticationToken() in
org.acegisecurity.providers.AbstractAuthenticationToken
has been deprecated I've added -Xlint:-deprecation to my ant javac; no dice. I also added the @SuppressWarnings("deprecation") and declared my own no arg constructor and that didn't help either.
I'm using 1.5.0_06-b05.
Help! I hate warnings I can't do anything about and that aren't my fault!

Answer 1

ctor is short for "constructor".
You can't override constructors, anyway.
You probably have this:
public class MyClass extends ClassWithDeprecatedConstructor
    public MyClass(String text)
       System.out.println(text);
}That code implicitly calls "super()" as the first line of MyClass. But, that constructor is deprecated. You want this:
public class MyClass extends ClassWithDeprecatedConstructor
    public MyClass(String text)
       super(text, 5); // EXPLICITLY call a super constructor.
       System.out.println(text);
}Where ClassWithDeprecatedConstructor takes a String and an int:
public ClassWithDeprecatedConstructor(String text, int num)
}
