Provide a version that doesn't build upon old javax libraries

[LStampf]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

In version 1.39 a dependency to api-common was introduced.
Commit

api-common still references javax.annotations a dependency that has moved to jakarta.annotations years ago. This can cause a headache for projects that already moved to jakarta.

Describe the solution you'd like
Update to the jakarta namespace or remove the api-common dependency because it is only used for one annotation anyway.

I see. Thanks for raising this.

We added api-common specifically to utilize the @InternalApi and @ObsoleteApi annotations for features in the auth library. I believe the only issue with excluding javax.annotations is the single @Generated annotation as JwtClaims generated with AutoValue.

Our deps are managed in sdk-platform-java. Going to move this issue over to that repo where we see how to migrate over to the jakarta.annotations dep

Interestingly, it just seems like IntelliJ flags the @Generated annotation as it can't be found, but I am able to build locally when excluding the dep and the tests pass
