    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1598?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17247546#comment-17247546 ] 

Caleb Cushing commented on LANG-1598:
-------------------------------------

these days jetbrains annotations should be fine, most frameworks seem to support multiple ones since the javax ones don't all work anymore on the latest version of java. I came here because I've been playing with using the Checker Framework, and Checker says I can't pass `null` to `BooleanUtils.toBoolean` which explicitly states in the documentation that null is recognized as false.

As far as this being huge, maybe this could be done 1 class at a time? with periodic releases including said work. It doesn't all have to be done for some of it to be done.
