Why was this library deprecated?

Was this simply because there was no longer anyone who would actively maintain it or is there some reason to actually discontinue usages of the library if it is currently being used?

Because I can't maintain it anymore. Nothing is wrong with the library, although I think for Kotlin there are better solutions.

@vRallev Hmm...do you know of any better solutions? This was always the best that I was aware of for Kotlin.

One solution could be property delegates: https://speakerdeck.com/vrallev/delegation-in-kotlin?slide=37

Hmm...that's basically just IceKick though, right?

Maybe, I don't know. I don't use either.

This means the library cannot be forked and improved upon, correct? :thinking:

It can be. You'd just have to look at the details of the license : http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html . There are plenty of forks already.
