[jira] Issue Comment Edited: (HTTPCLIENT-866) HttpClient depends on jcip-annotations.jar

The issue is not about building HttpClient; it's about using Java 5 to compile code that *uses* httpclient-4.0.jar. If you use Java 5 and HttpClient, you need the JCIP annotation jar in your classpath at compile time. Try it :-) Presumably this is because those annotations have runtime retention.

I think it would be ideal if consumers of HttpClient didn't need this jar. Second best would be to include it in the HttpClient distribution.

> 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.
