For what it is worth: 1. Generally speaking - and IMHO - these annotations only make sense in a particular tooling setup(s) - like considering values which can be null by code analysis and not by spec (@NotNull) - which I'm not sure we have so it is mainly about making it consumer friendly but how do we guarantee our meta are right and don't create false positives? Until we can guarantee it, it sounds like we can only bring drawbacks by adding it and users can trivially solve it since if he already uses @NotNull he puts it in his code at a higher level anyway. 2. Please don't use javax.annotation.* since, thanks JPMS, it can make the code not compilable on java >= 9 - a package must be owned by a single module. (Not)Nullable static check is generally about the annotation simple name and not the package so you can just duplicate the 1-2 annotations you want in [lang], it is a saner compromise in today's ecosystem.
