@Nullable / @NonNull

See original GitHub issue

I use these annotations a LOT and I don’t think you use them. Would you consider adding them?

For example, Box#put supports null collections but doesn’t say so:

public void put(Collection<T> entities) {
    if(entities != null && !entities.isEmpty()) { // yay!
        Cursor cursor = getWriter();
        try {
            Iterator i = entities.iterator();
            while(i.hasNext()) {
                cursor.put(i.next());
            }
           commitWriter(cursor);
        } finally {
           releaseWriter(cursor);
        }
    }
}

I tried to use compileOnly for jsr305. This seems to break kapt rather quickly. Also, annotations are already used in generated code / super classes of generated code. Thus, it seems simpler to stick with a compile dependency. Added a troubleshooting entry in the FAQ for this.

@BenoitDuffez I’m just finishing this, so no need to reopen. Will ship with next release.
