1. Understand the reasons for the obsolescence: Java.net.URL has been marked as deprecated because it has several limitations and has been superseded by newer, more efficient mechanisms for handling URLs, such as java.net.URI and java.net.HttpURLConnection.
2. Check if the code has references to java.net.URL: If your code makes use of the java.net.URL class, you should review those references and consider migrating to alternatives.
3. Pick the appropriate replacement: If your code is making standard http/https requests, you might consider migrating to java.net.HttpURLConnection. If your code uses URLs for identifying resources or access, you may consider using java.net.URI, which can handle relative and absolute URLs with better precision than java.net.URL.
4. Update the code: Once you have picked the replacement, update the code. This process may require changing the method calls, handling exceptions and correcting other errors that might emerge during the migration.
5. Test the code: Test the updated code thoroughly to ensure it still works as expected.
6. Consider backward compatibility: If your application has been deployed to different environments, you should review each platform's support for the replacement class to ensure backward compatibility with earlier versions of Java.
