Automatic crossing of function names by eclipse in the standard StdIn class

I copied and pasted a StdIn Class in eclipse which was used to complete an assignment in Stacks but suprisingly the names of functions readDoubles, readStrings and readInts were crossed automatically single-line crossed by Eclipse (although in the code below they are not crossed but if one tries to copy the below code to eclipse the crossed function names again appear). Why does this happen?

The code of StdIn is given below::

package stackimplementation;

/*************************************************************************
 *  Compilation:  javac StdIn.java
 *  Execution:    java StdIn   (interactive test of basic functionality)
 *
 *  Reads in data of various types from standard input.

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.InputMismatchException;
import java.util.Locale;
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;

/**
 *  The <tt>StdIn</tt> class provides static methods for reading strings
 *  and numbers from standard input. See 
 *  <a href="http://introcs.cs.princeton.edu/15inout">Section 1.5</a> of
 *  <i>Introduction to Programming in Java: An Interdisciplinary Approach</i>
 *  by Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne.
 *  <p>
 *  For uniformity across platforms, this class uses <tt>Locale.US</tt>
 *  for the locale and <tt>"UTF-8"</tt> for the character-set encoding.
 *  The English language locale is consistent with the formatting conventions
 *  for Java floating-point literals, command-line arguments
 *  (via {@link Double#parseDouble(String)}) and standard output.
 *  <p>
 *  Like {@link Scanner}, reading a <em>token</em> also consumes preceding Java
 *  whitespace; reading a line consumes the following end-of-line
 *  delimeter; reading a character consumes nothing extra. 
 *  <p>
 *  Whitespace is defined in {@link Character#isWhitespace(char)}. Newlines
 *  consist of \n, \r, \r\n, and Unicode hex code points 0x2028, 0x2029, 0x0085;
 *  see <tt><a href="http://www.docjar.com/html/api/java/util/Scanner.java.html">
 *  Scanner.java</a></tt> (NB: Java 6u23 and earlier uses only \r, \r, \r\n).
 *  <p>
 *  See {@link In} for a version that handles input from files, URLs,
 *  and sockets.
 *  <p>
 *  Note that Java's UTF-8 encoding does not recognize the optional byte-order
 *  mask. If the input begins with the optional byte-order mask, <tt>StdIn</tt>
 *  will have an extra character <tt>uFEFF</tt> at the beginning.
 *  For details, see http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4508058.

This is the key (example from readInts)

 * @deprecated For more consistency, use {@link #readAllInts()}

The methods are deprecated, which means you should stop using them.
