Obviously if you've already compiled a jar and put it out there in the wild without tracking you don't know who's calling what methods.  If you're pushing out a new version, or running your local Java they're somehow connecting to you can add logging as Eric S suggests.

Most APIs would put out at least one version marking methods as deprecated before releasing a new major version to completely eliminate them.  Minor version changes shouldn't be pulling the rug out removing methods but always expect that with a major version number update.

You could also just leave the methods in there telling everyone not to use them but there's really no ill effect if they do it anyway like Component did.

Deprecated since 1.1 but still exists in 8.
