| # Jakarta Annotations [](https://travis-ci.org/eclipse-ee4j/common-annotations-api) |
| |
| **Jakarta Annotations** defines a collection of annotations representing common |
| semantic concepts that enable a declarative style of programming that applies |
| across a variety of Java technologies. |
| |
| This standalone release of Jakarta Annotations uses a |
| [Java Platform Module System](http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jigsaw/spec/) |
| "automatic" module name of `java.annotation`, to match the module name |
| used in JDK 9. A future version will include full module metadata. |
