LANG trunk currently includes some use of JCIP annotations.
The annotations were defined with Runtime retention.
Although the annotation jar is not needed to run applications, it
turns out that the Sun Java 1.5 compiler reports an error if the jar
is not present. [Java 1.6 only issues a warning]
Possible options:
* remove JCIP (leave the annotations as comments)
+1. [lang] doesn't have the power/strength/clout to define these, nor
should we depend on jcip. Thus, the only way that jcip will gain wide
acceptance is if they are included in the JDK.
Seems to me that annotations are in scope for LANG.
[lang] doesn't have any annotations right now, and I struggle to see any
that are sufficiently common, low level and non-religious to justify
inclusion.
Why not just bundle JCIP in our jar then?
Because they might change outside our control, causing jar file hell.
