The Maven folks verified that putting a dependency in

The problem with that is that the developer has to provide the
annotation jar in order to run the compile. This is an extra stage.
I'm not sure what it involves.
If we can find a method to automate the provision process within the
Maven build, then that would work. Otherwise, we are just making it
awkward for developers.
This seems like a missing piece in maven. There should be a scope that
covers exactly this case, like "compileNotRuntime" or something like that.
