Is InputStreamReader.ready method deprecated ?

Is InputStreamReader.ready method deprecated ?

[Patrick Ellis]

Question: I have a testcase that is failing across several platforms (UNIX, LINUX, WINDOWS, etc) that according to the comment in the code was deprecated after 1.1 but I can NOT find any documentation or statement from the SUN JavaTM 2 Platform, Standard Edition, v 1.4.1 website or any books that say the code should be deprecated for the
InputStreamReader.ready method . Has the function been deprecated ?

Code:
// Tags: JDK1.1

package gnu.testlet.java.io.InputStreamReader;

import gnu.testlet.Testlet;
import gnu.testlet.TestHarness;

import java.io.*;

public class jdk11 implements Testlet
{
  public void test (TestHarness harness)
  {
    try
      {
                InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader (new StringBufferInputStream ("zardoz has spoken"));
                harness.check(!isr.ready(), "ready()");   // deprecated post-1.1
                harness.check(isr.getEncoding(), "8859_1", "getEncoding");
                char[] cbuf = new char[10];
                isr.read (cbuf, 0, cbuf.length);
                String tst = new String(cbuf);
                harness.check(tst, "zardoz has", "read(buf[], off, len)");
                harness.check(isr.read(), ' ', "read()");
                isr.close ();
                harness.check(true, "close()");
      }
    catch (IOException e)
      {
                harness.check(false, "IOException unexpected");
      }
  }
}

Not to my knowledge.

The test looks strange I would expect the first test to always fail.
But with gcj it actaully doesn't/ Haven't figured out why yet.
