What is the status of JSR 305?

Question

I have seen this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1476757/jsr305-vs-jsr308-java-type-anotations-which-is-going-to-be-the-standard and I understand the difference between JSRs 308 and 305.

I also understand that at this time 308 is slated for Java 7, and 305 is not, but I am curious about the overall status of 305?

Specifically I am using Google Collections and JSR-305 in some of my projects (in a similar manner to what one of the Guice best practices advocates) and was wondering if there is a more "future direction" friendly approach I should be using instead? I am planning to also ask about this on the JSR-305 group, but that group does not have much activity and I was just wondering if anyone here had any more info.

Thanks

According to Alex Millers Java 7 blog, JSR-308 (and 305) are scheduled to go in to Java 7. Perhaps he will show up here and give you more information.
