How to get Package Explorer to indicate when a Java source files (.java) contains a deprecated class [message #1820880]

How do I get the Package Explorer to indicate when a Java source files (.java) contains a deprecated class or interface? Perhaps the Java icon can be different or perhaps the name of the Java file is struck through?

As you can see from below, it doesn't indicate that `EFundAsset.java` contains a deprecated class.

I don't believe there is a way to achieve this, but if there is, the JDT folks will know:

For me the following class gets a different icon, it has a struck through Java file icon:

@Deprecated
public class MyClass {
}

For nested classes/interfaces/functions this (of course) doesn't work.

I found it! Preferences > Appearance > Label Decorations > Java Type Indicator. That setting was off in my fresh install of Eclipse 2019-12. Turning it on resolved my issue.
