[cdi-dev] Duplicate javax.annotation packages and Java 9

[Martin Kouba]

For the record, the CDI API itself does not define a dependency on 
javax.annotation at all.

In fact, I'm wondering why @Priority is not part of JDK?? I suppose the 
reasons are similar to why javax.annotation.Priority only has 
@Target({TYPE,PARAMETER}) (even if we tried to push other element types :-(.
