Hi John,

the exact same issue happens with @Nullable which is used by a bunch of libraries (static code analyzis, @AutoValue of guava etc...)

Best i was able to do was to force all these javax annotation to be load in a classloader which is not the root JVM one but this is a huge regression of java 9 which has no solution and oracle claims it is intended since it is a bad practise to have packages over jars (even if jars are abstracted into a classloader so this is not something which means anything) :(.

A workaround is to not activate the JVM javax.annotation package and provide all javax.* in the unamed module but this will not last very long since all modules will slowly be named with time.

Hope it helps a bit even if it doesn't solve anything.

Hey all


Not sure where else to turn 😊


I'm trying to start testing my apps on Java 9, I believe Java 9 kicks back the javax.annotation dependency that CDI declares due to a package collision with the built in JDK's javax.annotation package.  The errors I get are due to missing javax/annotation/Priority.  I'm wondering if anyone else has tried this, and if there's a clean work around?
