Missing '@Deprecated' annotation

Reports module declarations, classes, fields, or methods that have the @deprecated Javadoc tag but do not have the @java.lang.Deprecated annotation.

Example:

/**
 * @deprecated use {@code example()} instead
 */
void sample(){ }

After the quick-fix is applied:

/**
 * @deprecated use {@code example()} instead
 */
@Deprecated
void sample(){ }

This inspection reports only if the language level of the project or module is 5 or higher.

Use the checkbox below to report members annotated with @Deprecated without an explanation in a Javadoc @deprecated tag.
