	In the JDE how do I add this as a command line argument to rapc.exe so I can see what deprecated API's I am using?

The BlackBerry rapc compiler doesn't currently support the -Xlint: options.  However, you can view more information by adding the -deprecation switch to the rapc command line.

Is there any way to add that flag to the call from within the JDE?

No, you'd have to execute the build from a command line to modify the rapc parameters.

Hi,

Can you please give more information about depricated APIs. What is the problem in using depricated APIs?

Also I am using Dialog Class. And i am not implementing any interfaces. I compiled my file with the -deprication option through command line. It gives info "[deprecation] inHolster() in net.rim.device.api.system.HolsterListener has
been deprecated"

Touchdemo suppiled with JDE also shows same info.

Can you please help understanding this?

Thanks,

Sandeep

It is recommended to avoid deprecated APIs.  An API is marked as deprecated to inform developers that it could be removed in the future.  The JavaDocs for deprecated APIs typically direct to the recommended replacement API.

Note that to date no API marked as deprecated has been removed from the BlackBerry API set.
