Description

Inside Base.java there is import org.jetbrains.annotations.NotNull;.
The @NotNull is used only once.

I don't know it this made it into the processing source by accident but I think having this is another dependency is not worth it. Specially since it doesn't really add anything that can't be done with vanilla java in a few lines of code.

Research direction

Start in Base.java by inspecting the org.jetbrains.annotations.NotNull import and its single use, then locate the corresponding dependency configuration. Remove the processing dependency and verify that the project still builds without the annotation; done means no source or build dependency on it remains.
