Hi, thanks for the PR. The story for GenericContainer is going to be different than Container. That's why it has been only deprecated in one place for now.

I see @eddumelendez, thanks for the clarification. Will this not be a bit inconsistent though? For child classes extending GenericContainer, they will have the following set of methods (this is from an example class in our code base which extends FixedHostPortGenericContainer<HiboxcentreTomcatContainer>):

Feel free to disagree, but I believe the above API becomes a bit confusing to the user. 🤔 Some withFileSystemBind() methods are fine to use but not others. At the very least, we should then try to document this better so that it's clear for the end user of Testcontainers what to expect.

/cc @kiview FYI, since you were involved in the original PR (#7652).

Aren't the methods in GenericContainer implementations of the deprecated methods in Container, and as such would inherit the @Deprecated annotation?

@big-andy-coates From how I understand it: no, the annotations aren't inherited that way. Since GenericContainer overrides these methods from the Container interface, the annotations need to be duplicated in GenericContainer (if the methods are to be deprecated, which @eddumelendez indicated that they won't be).
