Description Lars Vogel

Javadoc of  Image#getBoundsInPixel currently says:

* @deprecated This API doesn't serve the purpose in an environment having
 *             multiple monitors with different DPIs, hence deprecated.

This gives no hint which method should be used. Please the information which method should be used instead.

We introduced this api for SWT internal use(we had to use this across packages in SWT). We would not want end users use this method. That is the reason this method is deprecated.
