Do any problems arise because of using deprecated functions in Java?? If so, why do they keep this function?? Is it a bad habit if you use a deprecated method in Java like
java.sql.Date.getMonth or getYear or getDate???

    Some potential problems are:

    • Methods may cease to exist (this has never been the case in practice, but by the official definition, deprecated methods may be eliminated from future Java)
    • Serious programming errors may occur due to fatal flaws in deprecated methods (e.g. System.runFinalizersOnExit and its evil twin Runtime.runFinalizersOnExit)
    • Data corruption can occur due to inherently unsafe deprecated methods (e.g. Thread.stop)
