Answer 1

IntelliJ IDEA has an intention action to annotate library classes as Deprecated using the External Annotations support. You've probably triggered this intention action by accident.

For the classes deprecated this way there supposed to be the reverse action: Deannotate, but it may not work (bug reported).

To fix it manually, find the annotations.xml file in a directory that is configured in the SDK Annotations tab and edit/remove it.

UPDATE: Deannoate action should work now, but only while inside the annotated class itself, not from its reference.
