Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
In version 1.39 a dependency to api-common was introduced.
[Commit](https://github.com/googleapis/google-auth-library-java/commit/e7d4380ce94bbdd5a879591e0652945262e896aa)
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.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by inspecting the sdk-platform-java dependency introduced in version 1.39 and the linked commit, then trace its use of api-common and javax.annotations. Done means providing a version that avoids the old javax dependency, either by using jakarta.annotations or removing api-common as proposed.
