-Xlint / -Deprecation Error

Sorry if I'm in the wrong area or on the wrong site to ask this question but... I've read that this is a Java issue:

There is a program called 'Rsbot' which is, in a way, a 'cheat engine' for the online game Runescape. You can add different scripts so that the scripts will perform different actions in the game (people post full scripts online).

After adding a script by saving a notepad file as .java etc... I click compile-scripts under the Rsbot folder in my documents and usually the Run screen pops up showing me if my scripts compiled into .jar files or not.

Whenever i try to add any form of script to my bot i get this error in the Run screen (after clicking the compile-scripts icon):

Thank you for anyone that can help!

Deprecated API is nothing but the API which in no more supported. Seems like your java program is trying to use the methods which are deprecated. The compiler will check for the deprecated method things, but it's not actually an error. It's a kind of warning.

But it's not advised to leave it as it is. You can use the option

Code:

---

javac -Xlint:deprecation class_file.java
OR
javac -deprecation class_file.java

---

while you compile your java file.

This would give you details of the deprecated methods which were attempted to be used. Then you can find out some alternative to replace those methods with non-deprecated methods.

Hope that helps,

Your 'script' uses a method that is no longer supported or 'deprecated'. Your compiler warns about it and by using the flag -Xlint you can get detailed information about it. Read the API documentation for the method: a description is shown for an alternative.

kind regards,

Jos

javac -deprecation class_file.java

So save the notepad document with the script in it under:

javac -deprecation AIORuneCrafter.java (AIORuneCrafter is the public-class name/script name)

Edit: Saved as what i said above^ and got the error again

Also... can i save this script in any other way and still have it work using the program?

I also have skype if anyone can just get on skype and have a quick-fix chat instead of waiting hours/days for replies
