Eclipse Source Editor: Some items are Shown as StrikeThrough. How Come?

I've noticed a strange behavior in the Eclipse source editor. In particular, some items show as strikethrough text.

Some Examples:

In Imports:

In Methods:

No lint errors are indicated and the code works just fine. Has anybody seen this? Any idea what it means?

BTW - I'm compiling for API level 23. And YES, I know Camera2 is recommended but it's too muck work to re-port my code.

UPDATE

I think it may be a duplicate question, but the answers were sermons about not using deprecated features - I seek a solution. I tried everything I could think of: @SuppressWarnings( "depecation" ); ProjectProperties:JavaCompiler:Error/Warnings settings, etc. - but still they persist. I guess maybe (as greg-449 suggested in his 2nd comment) I'm SOL.

BTW - I can't find the Java->Editor->Syntax setting anywhere. Where is that puppy hiding?

The classes are marked @Deprecated. You can change the strikethrough in the 'Java > Editor > Syntax Coloring' preferences. – greg-449 Aug 15 '17 at 16:07
I suspected it was due to deprecation, but I tried suppressing deprecated warning every way I could fineL – DontPanic Aug 15 '17 at 20:15

Suppressing the warning does not stop Eclipse showing the strikethrough. – greg-449 Aug 15 '17 at 20:26
See UPDATE to question. – DontPanic Aug 15 '17 at 20:27

'Java > Editor > Syntax Coloring' is in the Preferences - 'Window > Preferences' on Windows/Linux or 'Eclipse > Preferences' on macOS. – greg-449 Aug 15 '17 at 20:35
The suggestion above (greg-449, Preferences) work perfectly. No more strikethrough! Yaaay! – DontPanic Aug 16 '17 at 19:21
