   > So it seems to me that JSpecify is not in a usable state yet. Is there a 
preference for one of the other supported annotations? I don't see a good 
candidate as most of them are part of a library that is not specifically meant 
to strengthen contracts, is vendor-specific or is (as good as) obsolete.
   
   JSpecify is perfectly usable already but it has a couple of non-intuitive 
annotation usages. Your example is one of them. See 
https://jspecify.dev/docs/user-guide/#some-subtler-details.
   
   You have to either use static imports or write it like this:
   
   ```WebResponse.@NonNull CacheScope scope```
   
   Another example is with arrays. I always have to think twice where to put 
the annotation depending on if the array itself is nullable or its elements are.

> 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:
