   For seamless Kotlin integration, having proper @Nullable and @NotNull 
annotations is extremely helpful.
   
   We're using Kotlin with Wicket, and one challenge we've encountered is the 
need to manually remove nullability when overriding methods. This adds 
unnecessary friction and makes the combination of Kotlin and Wicket feel less 
fluent. Improving support for nullability annotations would greatly enhance the 
developer experience.

> Knowing whether a variable can be {{null}} or not, improves the developer 
> experience. A first step is to add {{@Nonnull}} to parameters that are 
> checked for {{{}null{}}}.
> The patch adds {{@Nonull }}to those parameters. The following has been done:
>  * The annotation has been added to base and sub types, and to some overloads.
>  * Conditional nullability has been taken into account.
>  ** In some methods in {{Files}} the client may pass values for other 
> parameters that allows the non-{{{}null{}}} parameter to be {{{}null{}}}. It 
> is assumed that clients do not do this. If a client checks if the 
> non-{{{}null{}}} parameter may be {{{}null{}}}, the client can better skip 
> the call.
> In some hierarchies the handling of {{null}} is inconsistent. The contract of 
> the base method has to be tightened, or the implementations need to be  
> changed to support {{{}null{}}}:
>  * {{{}org.apache.wicket.request.Response.encodeURL{}}}: the annotations has 
> only be added to the implementations in {{ServletWebResponse}} and 
> {{{}WebSocketResponse{}}}.
>  * {{{}org.apache.wicket.request.http.WebResponse.encodeRedirectURL{}}}: the 
> same holds true as above.
>  * 
> {{{}org.apache.wicket.request.mapper.parameter.IPageParametersEncoder.encodePageParameters{}}}:
>  the annotation has only be added to the implementation in 
> {{{}UrlPathPageParametersEncoder{}}}.
> In addition bugs were found and fixed:
>  * The order of the parameters to {{Checks.notNull(...)}} in 
> {{{}OriginResourceIsolationPolicy{}}}.
>  * The order of parameters to {{assertNull(...)}} in {{BaseWicketTester}} and 
> {{{}WicketTesterTest{}}}.
> The patch is quite big, but the changes are small and simple. The changes can 
> be viewed here:
