Sebb commented on HTTPCLIENT-866:
---------------------------------
I've been thinking more about this - seems to me that if we use the
annotations, then they should be used consistently, i.e. we should use them in
HttpCore as well.
If we add annotations as part of HttpClient, then it may be hard to add them to
HttpCore later without causing problems.
I think the annotations would need to go in a separate module, this might make
it possible to move them to HttpCore later.
I'm beginning to think it might be easier to comment out the annotations for
now.

> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient

> Affects Versions: 4.0 Final
> Environment: javac 1.5.0_19
> Reporter: David Nault
> Priority: Critical
> Attachments: HTTPCLIENT-866.patch

>
> When using Java 5 to compile code that uses HttpClient, jcip-annotations.jar
> must be in the classpath or else you get a compiler error:
> [javac] /path/to/src/SomeFile.java:129: cannot access
> net.jcip.annotations.GuardedBy
> [javac] file net/jcip/annotations/GuardedBy.class not found
> [javac] DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
> [javac] ^
> With Java 6, you get a bunch of warnings instead.
> [javac]
> org/apache/http/impl/client/AbstractHttpClient.class(org/apache/http/impl/client:AbstractHttpClient.class):
> warning: Cannot find annotation method 'value()' in type
> 'net.jcip.annotations.GuardedBy': class file for
> net.jcip.annotations.GuardedBy not found
> This requirement doesn't seem to be documented anywhere, and
> jcip-annotations.jar is not included in the
> "httpcomponents-client-4.0-bin-with-dependencies" package.
