title: Relation between Akka and scala.actors in 2.10
body: <p>
  <li>The Scala 2.10 release notes says this:  "<strong>Akka Actors now part of the distribution. The original Scala actors are now deprecated.</strong>" </li></p>
  
  <p><li>The latest Akka library ("Akka 2.1.0 for Scala 2.10") mentions the following dependency:
  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;com.typesafe.akka:<strong>akka-actor_2.10</strong>:2.1.0 <br>
  &nbsp;&nbsp; and the following examples: <br>
  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<code>import akka.actor.Actor</code> <br>
  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <code>class MyActor extends Actor {..}</code> <br>
  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <code>val system = ActorSystem("MySystem")</code></p>
  
  <p><li>My project includes these libraries:<br>
  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;org.scala-lang:<strong>scala-library</strong>:2.10.0 <br>
  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;org.scala-lang:<strong>scala-actors</strong>:2.10.0<br>
  </li></p>
  
  <p>In my classpath, I have no package called "akka". I do see instead <code>scala.actors</code>, but it doesn't seem deprecated. <br> <br>
  So, in which way are Akka Actors "part of the distribution"?<br>
  If this is, indeed, the case, then am I still supposed to add the "akka-actor_2.10" library as a dependency? <br> If so, do I use akka.Actor or the non-deprecated <a href="http://www.scala-lang.org/api/current/index.html#scala.actors.Actor" rel="noreferrer">scala.actors.Actor</a> ?</p>
