Oleg Kalnichevski updated HTTPCLIENT-866:
-----------------------------------------
Priority: Critical (was: Major)
Sorry that it took me so long to understand the extent of the problem.
I think the retention policy of jcip-annotations.jar is set to RUNTIME in order
to enable automated detection of concurrency related bugs using some kind
runtime analysis tools.
Sebastian
Unless we can find a way to override the retention policy of
jcip-annotations.jar to SOURCE at least for official builds of HttpClient and
HttpCore, we should seriously consider removing dependency on
jcip-annotations.jar. Alternatively, we should consider the possibility of
forking jcip-annotations provided its licence is compatible with ASFv2

> 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
> Priority: Critical
>
> 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.
