Inspectopedia 2025.2 Help

Use of obsolete date-time API

Reports usages of java.util.Date, java.util.Calendar, java.util.GregorianCalendar, java.util.TimeZone, and java.util.SimpleTimeZone.

While still supported, these classes were made obsolete by the JDK8 Date-Time API and should probably not be used in new development.
