Re: [ca-dev] [External] : Notnull and Nullable annotations on the Jakart

[Emily Jiang <emijiang6@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you Lukas!

The annotation is not only for static analysis but also for runtime as stated here

https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/common-annotations-api/blob/master/spec/src/main/asciidoc/spec.adoc#jakartaannotationnonnull

For the runtime bit, I think we need to ensure implementors implement this. Right?

Thanks

Emily

I do not think the statement applies to @Generated (which is similar to
if not the same as javax.annotation.processing.Generated).
@Notnull/@Nullable are in the same group - they may be useful to static
analysis tools and to improve code readability

AFAIK there is only signature test available in Jakarta Annotations
TCK[1]. Should your question be about ie @Priority - take the spec which
defines its usage and check its TCK (can be ie CDI, REST,..)
