Answer 1

According to http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/index.html?javax/annotation/package-summary.html the classes you expect are not part of JDK 7.

The classes you're looking for are part of google JSR-305 implementation that was initiated here https://code.google.com/p/jsr-305/source/browse/trunk/ri/src/main/java/javax/annotation/Nullable.java?r=24 and which moved to Findbugs:

  com.google.code.findbugs
  jsr305
  3.0.0

According to https://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=305 the JSR-305 is finished, but is in dormant status and has not been added to a JDK release yet.

Hope it helps.
