Most of JAVA projects are still running.  Some of these were Ada 95 that was 
switch to Java 1.1. And the still work today, just can not compile them 
without a complete rewrite.

Also, check with SUN!  Back in the 1990's with the introduction of JAVA 1.1 
they said the concept of deprecating functions was a design mistake, but it 
too late now to alter the course of JAVA.
