Deprecated Interfaces

Interface	Description
org.apache.maven.artifact.metadata.ArtifactMetadata
org.apache.maven.artifact.repository.ArtifactRepository	Avoid use of this type, if you need access to local repository use repository system classes instead.
org.apache.maven.artifact.repository.layout.ArtifactRepositoryLayout	Avoid use of this type, if you need access to local repository use repository system session instead.

Deprecated Classes

Class	Description
org.apache.maven.artifact.repository.ArtifactRepositoryPolicy	Avoid use of this type, if you need access to local repository use repository system session instead.

Deprecated Fields

Field	Description
org.apache.maven.artifact.Artifact.LATEST_VERSION	The use of the LATEST version is discouraged because it results in non-reproducible builds and exposes projects to supply chain attacks. Use explicit versions instead.
org.apache.maven.artifact.Artifact.RELEASE_VERSION	The use of the RELEASE version is discouraged because it results in non-reproducible builds and exposes projects to supply chain attacks. Use explicit versions instead.
org.apache.maven.artifact.handler.ArtifactHandler.ROLE

Deprecated Methods

Method	Description
org.apache.maven.artifact.handler.ArtifactHandler.isAddedToClasspath()	A value of true does not mean that the dependency should be placed on the classpath. See JavaPathType instead for better analysis.
org.apache.maven.artifact.repository.ArtifactRepository.isBlacklisted()
org.apache.maven.artifact.repository.ArtifactRepository.isUniqueVersion()
org.apache.maven.artifact.repository.ArtifactRepository.setBlacklisted(boolean)
org.apache.maven.artifact.versioning.VersionRange.cloneOf()	VersionRange is immutable, cloning is not useful and even more an issue against the cache

Deprecated Constructors

Constructor	Description
org.apache.maven.artifact.resolver.MultipleArtifactsNotFoundException(Artifact, List<Artifact>, List<ArtifactRepository>)	use MultipleArtifactsNotFoundException(Artifact, List, List, List)
