   Actually the annotations are not part of Java 8, which is good because you can include them from the jsr305 jar and it will work the same everywhere. What changes in Java 8 is that you have type annotations, so you can write things like List<@Nullable String>. Conversely, you can't write that if you want to compile on earlier versions, though you can still write @Nullable String frob(@Nullable String s).

   @Nullable in particular can provide a useful service to client code if that code is using FindBugs or another similar tool.
