@Deprecated should not be applied to local variables or parameters JAVA-W1082
Anti-pattern
Major
Autofix Avoid marking parameters or local variables as @Deprecated, as the annotation will have no effect.
Bad Practice
In the method below, the argument input is marked with @Deprecated. However, this annotation will have no semantic meaning, and javac will not generate a deprecation warning for it like it would for usage of a method annotated with @Deprecated.
public static String getSomething(@Deprecated String input) {
// ...
}
Recommended
Avoid marking parameters and local variables as @Deprecated.
