Summary

In Java SE 9 the list of input events, which have an extended equivalent, were marked as deprecated. But there is some API which works with the old version of events only. There are no way to write deprecation-free code, which uses input events, that would compile fine Java 9.

Problem

In jdk9 there is no replacement for Toolkit.getMenuShortcutKeyMask() that would return InputEvent.CTRL_DOWN_MASK instead of InputEvent.CTRL_MASK.

Solution

The new method which support extended modifiers should be added. The old method which support old modifiers should be deprecated.
