Description

Currently the SDK includes a dependency on Animal Sniffer to ensure to no APIs that were introduced post Java 8 are used. This can be replaced by the javac `--release` argument when building with newer JDKs and the annotations dependency can be removed.

As documented on https://www.mojohaus.org/animal-sniffer/
