Where can I download common-annotations.jar

Question

Have a Spring 2.5 webapp which runs fine under 1.6, but under 1.5 it can't find PostConstruct class.

Found the following which suggests I need common-annotations.jar (JSR-250) but cannot find anywhere to download it

Answer 2

The reference implementation is available here: http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/final/jsr250/index.html

Reference Implementation (RI) and Technology Compatibility Kit is part of glassfish.

In other words, you might end up having to download the GlassFish Application Server just to get the single jar file.
