             Summary: Add visual indicators for deprecated components
                 Key: NIFI-5555
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5555
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core UI
            Reporter: Pierre Villard


Since NiFi 1.3.0 and NIFI-391, we can add a
{noformat}
@DeprecationNotice{noformat}
annotation to components that we want to deprecate.

As of now, this deprecation notice is only reflected in the Usage documentation. But it can be completely missed by users and it can also be completely unnoticed on existing workflows.

I suggest the two following improvements:
 * In the component listing, strikethrough the line displaying the component and prefix the description with "DEPRECATED (see usage for more information)".
 * Just like we have a specific icon for processors running on the primary node only, it could be a good idea to have an icon with something like an exclamation mark instead of the "P".

Thoughts?
