Guava r07, GWT and javax.annotation.Nullable

Viewed 15387

I'm trying to use Guava in a GWT project without success (a HashMultimap, to be precise). I get a never-ending list of stacktraces for classes:

  • com.google.common.collect.ComparisonChain
  • com.google.common.collect.ForwardingSortedSetMultimap
  • com.google.common.collect.Ordering
  • ...

Each stack trace is along the lines of:

  • line xx: the import javax.annotation cannot be resolved
  • line xx: Nullable cannot be resolved to a type
  • line xx: Nullable cannot be resolved to a type
  • line xx: Nullable cannot be resolved to a type
  • ...

Looking at the code, each file that throws an error includes:

import javax.annotation.Nullable;

and, looking at the guava-src-r07.jar, each mentioned classes uses a @Nullable annotation.

I'm using JDK6 and looking at the JDK6 javadoc and...well, I can't find any such annotation. Can I get these libraries to work with a GWT project and JDK6?

P.S. - What version of Java are you using over there?
