Force use of deprecated API to fail compilation
Ok, short question that I hope you can help me with. Is it possible to force the compilation to fail if I a deprecated API is used. Why? Well, we are a large number of developers and sometimes people use a method or class that has been deprecated because they are either lazy or can't find the new class/method.

This isn't possible with the default compiler. You would have to write a special compiler wrapper that calls the java compiler (sun.tools.javac.Main in tools.jar)
Can't you just hang a rubber chicken over the desk of the person who checked in bad code - that was what happened at my last job :)
