If you compile a bunch on files at the same time and one containes the @deprecated tag and another uses that method, you will not get the deprecated warning. Consider the following two classes:
package com.test;
public class test1
{
/**
* @deprecated
*/

public void method1()
{
System.out.println("method1");
}
}

package com.test;

public class test2
{

public void method2()
{
test1 t = new test1();
t.method1();

}
}

Compile them using javac *.java. You get no warnings. Modify test2 and recompile just test2.java. You will get the deprecated warnings.
