[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know if this problem was solved
... or worked around .... but didn't want the issue to get lost, so I opened
a bug in Orbit, 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=437470
to make sure the issue isn't "lost"
(thought not sure it's a true "Orbit Bug" ... seemed as good
a place as any). 

Thanks,

Well, not quite. 

javax.annotation 1.0.0 has a BREE of 1.5  (but is "native"
to only 1.6, according tohttps://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=422981#c5
 ) 
javax.annotation 1.1.0 has a BREE of 1.5  (but is "native"
to only 1.7, according to '') 
javax.annotation 1.2.0 has a BREE of 1.6  (but is "native"
to only 1.8, according to '' -- I think -- assuming it "made it in",
but I do not know for sure) 

The idea being that projects could use annotations, as the specs came out,
even on an "older" VM, rather than have to wait for the JRE that
first contained it.
