javax.inject module?

[Tom De Wolf]

Hi,

Does someone know why the javax.inject annotations contained in for example
the following maven dependency are not part of the jdk?

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.inject/javax.inject -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.inject</groupId>
    <artifactId>javax.inject</artifactId>
    <version>1</version>
</dependency>

Who or which dependency/jar can be used to depend on this set of injection
annotations as an explicit module or a module with a reserved automatic
module name? Who is responsible to tackle this for javax.inject?

Thanks,
