Advanced Topics in Programming Languages: JSR-305: Java annotations for software defect detection

This talk will describe the current status of JSR-305, Java annotations for software defect detection. This JSR will define several standard Java annotations for properties such as @Nonnegative and @Nonnull that can be used to document your design intentions in a way that be interpreted by multiple software tools (such as FindBugs and IntelliJ). In addition, the talk (and JSR) will discuss the need for inherited and default JSR-305 annotations and propose a way to provide them.
