Re: Patch: fix gcj deprecation support

[Eric Blake <ebb9 at email dot byu dot edu>]

Have you run the Jacks tests on deprecation in 
jvms/class-file-format/attributes/deprecated-attribute?  Note that Sun's 
javadoc and javac currently parse this differently; the jacks tests are 
based on javadocs behavior and there is an open bug in Sun's database to 
make javac comply.  Right now jikes gets it correct, for a reference if 
you need it.

This signature intentionally left boring.
