Note that both @PostConstruct and @PreDestroy annotations are part of Java EE. And since Java EE has been deprecated in Java 9 and removed in Java 11 we have to add an additional dependency to use these annotations:

    javax.annotation-api
    1.3.2

If using Gradle

implementation "javax.annotation:javax.annotation-api:1.3.2"
