import javax.annotation.ParametersAreNonnullByDefault fails, but why?

Question

My import statements contain
import javax.annotation.ParametersAreNonnullByDefault;

But it fails, saying 'cannot find symbol...'

I'm using Netbeans 8.0.2, and my project uses Source format JDK8, Java platform 1.8.0.60

Typing 'javax.annotation.' doesn't show the ParametersAreNonnullByDefault in the autocompletion popup.

i'm trying to build sources from this project in Netbeans: https://github.com/fge/java7-fs-more

What should i do to make the import statement work?

You may be missing JSR305 dependency. Here's an example for build.gradle:

dependencies { compileOnly 'com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305:3.0.1' }
