David Nault commented on HTTPCLIENT-866:
----------------------------------------
The issue is not about building HttpClient; it's about using Java 5 to compile
code that *uses* httpclient-4.0.jar. If you use Java 5 and HttpClient, you need
the JCIP annotation jar in your classpath at compile time. Try it :-)
Presumably this is because those annotations have runtime retention.
I think it would be ideal if consumers of HttpClient didn't need this jar.
Second best would be to include it in the "with-dependencies" distribution.

> Key: HTTPCLIENT-866
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-866
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 4.0 Final
> Environment: javac 1.5.0_19
> Reporter: David Nault
>
> 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.
