Models the Deprecated attribute (JVMS 4.7.15), which indicates this structure has been superseded.

This attribute can appear on classes, methods, and fields, and permits multiple instances in a structure. It has no data dependency.

This attribute was introduced in the Java SE Platform version 1.1, major version 45.

API Note

When this attribute is present, the Deprecated annotation should also be present in the RuntimeVisibleAnnotations attribute to provide more obvious alerts. The reference implementation of the system Java compiler emits this attribute without the annotation when a @deprecated tag is present in the documentation comments without the annotation.
