Is it possible to use @Deprecated annotation while having enabled allWarningsAsErrors = true / -Werror? As far as I can tell it’s impossible, but maybe I missed something?

[robstoll]

It should not generate a warning unless you use the deprecated functionality yourself

[arekolek]

Yes, but I’m not thinking about a library or anything and in that case I would just remove the thing instead of annotating it. So what I actually meant is “is it possible to suppress the deprecation warnings (errors), but treat other warnings as errors”.

[robstoll]

yes, you can suppress deprecations with @Suppress("DEPRECATION") (in the same way as for other warnings)

[robstoll]

I don't know if you can suppress all deprecation warnings

[arekolek]

The best would be to decrease their severity back from error to warning actually

I guess this feature is not yet supported. You could open a feature request: http://youtrack.jetbrains.com

I think I’ll just leave code quality to linters and leave allWarningsAsErrors off 😛 But if anybody else thinks it would be useful go ahead 😄
