在Java11模块中使用@PostConstruct或@PreDestroy

Question

I am implementing a module for Java11 and want to use annotations from JSR250 (javax.annotation.PostConstruct and javax.annotation.PreDestroy).

I already changed the according dependency from:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>javax.annotation</groupId>
      <artifactId>jsr250-api</artifactId>
      <version>1.0</version>
    </dependency>

to this:

   <dependency>
      <groupId>javax.annotation</groupId>
      <artifactId>javax.annotation-api</artifactId>
      <version>1.3.2</version>
    </dependency>

That artifact javax.annotation-api-1.3.2.jar contains in META-INF/MANIFEST.MF this line:

Automatic-Module-Name: java.annotation

Hence, I tried to add this to my module-info.java file:

  requires java.annotation;

However, I get an error for this import:

import javax.annotation.PostConstruct;

The error message is:

The type javax.annotation.PostConstruct is not accessible

I already studied the following related questions but am still unable to resolve my issue:

• I can't use @PostConstruct and @PostDestroy with Java 11
• Intellij: how to add java.annotation module for javax.annotation.PostConstruct (Please note that I am using Eclipse with JDK11 and that does not contain a module java.xml.ws.annotation ).

Answer 1

The error occurred only in Eclipse. It actually turned out that other unrelated compile errors where causing some side effects in Eclipse. After resolving those and refreshing and cleaning the project the described error magically disappeared. Special thanks to @howlger and @Naman for pointing me in the right direction.
