Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

In version 1.39 a dependency to api-common was introduced.
Commit

api-common still references javax.annotations a dependency that has moved to jakarta.annotations years ago. This can cause a headache for projects that already moved to jakarta.

Describe the solution you'd like
Update to the jakarta namespace or remove the api-common dependency because it is only used for one annotation anyway.
