I was studying the legacy API's in the Java's Collection Framework and I learnt that classes such as Vector and HashTable have been superseded by ArrayList and HashMap.
However still they are NOT deprecated, and deemed as legacy when essentially, deprecation is applied to software features that are superseded and should be avoided, so, I am not sure when is a API deemed legacy and when it is deprecated.
Deprecation often denotes that there is an intention to remove the functionality at some point in the future, whereas legacy just implies it shouldn't be used in new code if at all possible (though may even then be needed for interop reasons).
