 * Indicates a public API is obsolete, and will be deprecated in a future version.
 *
 * Usage guidelines:
 *
 * 

 *   This annotation must be used only on APIs with non-private visibility.
 *   
This annotation should only be added if either an alternative API is provided and/or we
 *       plan to stop supporting the API in a future version.
 *   
This annotation must be used with a description.
 *   
Alternative APIs must be referenced in Javadoc and/or description if possible.
