The JSR 308 implementation is a backward-compatible extension to

or prevents errors; the tool is expressed as a type-checker for a
pluggable type system. The Checker Framework distribution includes
sample checkers.
This release includes many changes: support for other tools nullness
annotations, addition an aggregate checker for bundling checkers, and
