Why is JButton.enable deprecated?

deprecated, java, jbutton, swing

Solution

From the JDK documentation:

Deprecated. As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by java.awt.Component.setEnabled(boolean)

So call the `setEnabled(true)` method instead.

Problem

Why is Button.enable deprecated? I need to use the method of my button but it's deprecated, so it has no effect. How can I fix it? Are there any other alternatives?
