Alternatives to Elytron deprecated classes

[Mansour Al Akeel]

In the javadoc for CallbackHandlerCredentialSource, there is a deprecation note recommending to use the same class:

===============

@Deprecated public final class CallbackHandlerCredentialSource extends Object implements CredentialSource

Deprecated.

Use CallbackHandlerCredentialSource instead

================

The same thing applies to CredentialStoreCredentialSource.

In OAuth2CredentialSource in the same package, there's another deprecation tag without recommendation for alternative.

Is there a way for me to tell if I should treat this deprecation warning seriously? 

And if so, then what alternatives to use ?

Thank you

I filled: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/ELY-2770
Though, given other deprecations, Id check if there is class with the same name but in different package?

Thank you Bartosz,

I have checked and couldn't find a similar class name.

That being said, a solution can be:

* are those deprecation annotations used seriously.

If yes, then one of the following could help in the docs:

* What alternative we can use ?

OR

* Reason for the deprecation, which leaves it up to the developer to decide if it affects the use case in hand.

Thank you a lot for taking the time to reply.
