Well, not quite. javax.annotation 1.0.0 has a BREE of 1.5 (but is "native" to only 1.6, according tohttps://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=422981#c5 ) javax.annotation 1.1.0 has a BREE of 1.5 (but is "native" to only 1.7, according to '') javax.annotation 1.2.0 has a BREE of 1.6 (but is "native" to only 1.8, according to '' -- I think -- assuming it "made it in", but I do not know for sure) The idea being that projects could use annotations, as the specs came out, even on an "older" VM, rather than have to wait for the JRE that first contained it.
