## Why is this an issue?

Since Java 9, `@Deprecated` has two additional arguments to the annotation:

- `since` allows you to describe when the deprecation took place
- `forRemoval`, indicates whether the deprecated element will be removed at some future date

In order to ease the maintainers work, it is recommended to always add one or both of these arguments.

This rule reports an issue when `@Deprecated` is used without any argument.

### Noncompliant code example

    @Deprecated

### Compliant solution

    @Deprecated(since="4.2", forRemoval=true)

### Exceptions

The members and methods of a deprecated class or interface are ignored by this rule. The classes and interfaces themselves are still subject to it.
