laurentgo opened a new issue, #43396: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/43396
### Describe the enhancement requested jsr305 dependency was an attempt at standardizing a set of annotations to provide semantic information regarding Java classes, methods, fields, etc. Unfortunately the adoption has not been widespread and the dependency is not being updated, potentially causing issues with [JPMS](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/43227). As some of the jsr305 annotations have equivalent within the checker framework, we could replace most of the usage of jsr305 annotations with checker annotations. The only one with no equivalent is `@ThreadSafe` which is only used once and could be simply removed. Note that the same discussion is happening in multiple projects, like caffeine or guava. There is also a new standardization project named [jspecify](https://jspecify.dev/) but the project only provides 4 nullability correctness annotations for now while Arrow also uses checker framework beyond just nullability correctness. ### Component(s) Java -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
