Bad.

  public static void main(final String[] args) {

D:\>javac MyApp.java

Which, when we check the JDocs indicates..
Deprecated. As of JDK version 1.5, replaced by setVisible(boolean).

When I stated that though, I (again) mistook it for the
Component.show() method deprecated in 1.1.

Either way, it is deprecated, and has been for the last
two Java releases.

So - it is bad for showing deprecated code in the package docs
of (a major part of) the official documentation for the language.
