What about @ParametersAreNonnullByDefault?

[bibarsov]

I think it's a great replacement for jsr-305's annotations (in the context of IntellijIdea's inspection). Would Jetbrains support that annotation?

The same question is for @ParametersAreNullableByDefault

[amaembo]

For now, we are not planning to add them.

[matheusstutzel]

@amaembo any updates on this?

[Sxtanna]

Sorry but... there are existing semantics for this across several implementations of this annotation within this scope. There is precedent for this, it's really not MUCH more complex, as mentioned in #60 by @amaembo.

Please just make it work how other annotations have worked, for several years.

I guess the rationale for this decision was that JSR-305 already provides it and therefore there was no need to add it.

In the meantime the situation has changed, though: org.jetbrains.annotations is a proper java module, so I guess you are well aware of the split package mess that including JSR-305 would cause.

As JetBrains is known to be very supportive of (and many times even leading) new standards, I guess it's time to reconsider.

I found this page: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/parametersarenonnullbydefault-annotation.html

Does that mean it is supported now?

Does that mean it is supported now?

No, not without said dependency which causes split packages:

To use the annotation, add the jsr305 library to module dependencies

If there no plans to add equivalent @ParametersAreNonnullByDefault could you please provide a recommendation on what should be used instead. Obviously, JSR 305 can't be used because of deprecation and split package problem since Java 9.
