[FIXED] Eclipse @deprecated not working, but @Deprecated work

Issue

In my Eclipse Indigo, only @Deprecated work but not @deprecated in comment, any idea?

e.g.

// @deprecated <-- not work
@Deprecated    <-- work
public String getName()
{
    return name;
}

Solution

Your comment is not a javadoc comment so it is ignored by Eclipse. If you would have used

/**
 * @deprecated
 */

then Eclipse would have handled it exactly the same as when you specify the @Deprecated annotation.
