摘要

弃用是一种语言特性,它允许API生产者将某个特性标记为过时。我们的目标是深入了解API生产者和消费者在弃用方面的需求。为此,我们将调查API生产者为何弃用特性,他们是否删除了弃用的特性,他们期望消费者如何反应,以及是什么促使API消费者对弃用做出反应。为了实现这一目标,我们对17家第三方Java API生产商进行了半结构化访谈,并调查了170名Java开发人员。我们注意到Java中当前的弃用机制和增强它的建议并不能满足开发人员的所有需求。这导致我们提出并评估弃用机制的三个进一步增强。

Understanding Developers' Needs on Deprecation as a Language Feature
Deprecation is a language feature that allows API producers to mark a feature as obsolete. We aim to gain a deep understanding of the needs of API producers and consumers alike regarding deprecation. To that end, we investigate why API producers deprecate features, whether they remove deprecated features, how they expect consumers to react, and what prompts an API consumer to react to deprecation. To achieve this goal we conduct semi-structured interviews with 17 third-party Java API producers and survey 170 Java developers. We observe that the current deprecation mechanism in Java and the proposal to enhance it does not address all the needs of a developer. This leads us to propose and evaluate three further enhancements to the deprecation mechanism.
