Jspecify provides a set of annotations to explicitly declare the nullness expectations of the Java code.
If you are using Maven, then add the jspecify dependency in pom.xml.
In pom.xml, update or add the nullability-maven-plugin, to include the following configuration.
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jspecify</groupId>
<artifactId>jspecify</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>am.ik.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>nullability-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>0.4.2</version>
<extensions>true</extensions>
<configuration>
<checking>tests</checking>
<outputDirectory>${project.basedir}/src/main/java</outputDirectory>
<testOutputDirectory>${project.basedir}/src/test/java</testOutputDirectory>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>configure</goal>
<goal>generate-package-info</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
If you are using Gradle, then add the jspecify dependency.
In build.gradle or build.gradle.kts, update or add the following jspecify configuration.
plugins {
id("net.ltgt.errorprone") version "5.1.0"
id("net.ltgt.nullaway") version "3.1.0"
}
tasks.withType(JavaCompile).configureEach {
options.errorprone {
disableAllChecks = true // Other error prone checks are disabled
error("RequireExplicitNullMarking") // Require @NullMarked or @NullUnmarked on everything
nullaway {
error()
}
}
// Keep a JDK 25 baseline
options.release = 25
}
nullaway {
onlyNullMarked = true
jspecifyMode = true
}
dependencies {
implementation("org.jspecify:jspecify:1.0.0")
errorprone("com.google.errorprone:error_prone_core:2.50.0")
errorprone("com.uber.nullaway:nullaway:0.13.7")
}
In every java package under the application main source code (src/main/java),
create package-info.java if not exists already, and add the @NullMarked annotation as follows:
@org.jspecify.annotations.NullMarked
package com.mycompnay.myproject;
If package-info.java file already exists, update the file to add @org.jspecify.annotations.NullMarked annotation.
DO NOT REMOVE ANY OTHER EXISTING CODE IN package-info.java FILE.
If python is installed, after adding the jSpecify support, run scripts/verify_nullmarked.py
to check if all non-empty packages has package-info.java file or not.
If the project already uses another nullability annotation library (JSR-305 / javax, Jakarta,
JetBrains, Spring, Android, FindBugs/SpotBugs, Checker Framework, or Eclipse JDT), migrate those
annotations to JSpecify before adding @NullMarked. The OpenRewrite MigrateToJSpecify recipe
automates the common cases (javax, Jakarta, JetBrains, Micrometer, Micronaut); the rest are a short
manual mapping. See references/annotation-migration.md.
Flipping every package to @NullMarked at once is impractical on a large or legacy codebase.
@NullUnmarked lets you enforce NullAway on a growing perimeter while the rest stays untouched.
Because the build above enables OnlyNullMarked mode, packages without @NullMarked are simply
ignored — so adoption is driven purely by adding markers, one package at a time. Strategies,
progress tracking, common NullAway errors, and redundant null-guard removal are in
references/incremental-adoption.md.
If the project also has Kotlin sources, the Kotlin compiler (K2) reads JSpecify annotations on Java APIs and surfaces accurate nullability instead of platform types. See references/kotlin-interop.md.

Jspecify provides a set of annotations to explicitly declare the nullness expectations of the Java code.
## Add jSpecify support in Maven projects
If you are using Maven, then add the jspecify dependency in `pom.xml`.
In `pom.xml`, update or add the `nullability-maven-plugin`, to include the following configuration.
```xml
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jspecify</groupId>
<artifactId>jspecify</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>am.ik.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>nullability-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>0.4.2</version>
<extensions>true</extensions>
<configuration>
<checking>tests</checking>
<outputDirectory>${project.basedir}/src/main/java</outputDirectory>
<testOutputDirectory>${project.basedir}/src/test/java</testOutputDirectory>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>configure</goal>
<goal>generate-package-info</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
```
## Add jSpecify support in Gradle projects
If you are using Gradle, then add the jspecify dependency.
In `build.gradle` or `build.gradle.kts`, update or add the following jspecify configuration.
```groovy
plugins {
id("net.ltgt.errorprone") version "5.1.0"
id("net.ltgt.nullaway") version "3.1.0"
}
tasks.withType(JavaCompile).configureEach {
options.errorprone {
disableAllChecks = true // Other error prone checks are disabled
error("RequireExplicitNullMarking") // Require @NullMarked or @NullUnmarked on everything
nullaway {
error()
}
}
// Keep a JDK 25 baseline
options.release = 25
}
nullaway {
onlyNullMarked = true
jspecifyMode = true
}
dependencies {
implementation("org.jspecify:jspecify:1.0.0")
errorprone("com.google.errorprone:error_prone_core:2.50.0")
errorprone("com.uber.nullaway:nullaway:0.13.7")
}
```
## Add @NullMarked to package-info.java files
In every java package under the application main source code (`src/main/java`),
create `package-info.java` if not exists already, and add the `@NullMarked` annotation as follows:
```java
@org.jspecify.annotations.NullMarked
package com.mycompnay.myproject;
```
If `package-info.java` file already exists, update the file to add `@org.jspecify.annotations.NullMarked` annotation.
DO NOT REMOVE ANY OTHER EXISTING CODE IN `package-info.java` FILE.
## Verify jSpecify support
If python is installed, after adding the jSpecify support, run `scripts/verify_nullmarked.py`
to check if all non-empty packages has `package-info.java` file or not.
## Migrating an existing codebase from other annotation libraries
If the project already uses another nullability annotation library (JSR-305 / `javax`, Jakarta,
JetBrains, Spring, Android, FindBugs/SpotBugs, Checker Framework, or Eclipse JDT), migrate those
annotations to JSpecify **before** adding `@NullMarked`. The OpenRewrite `MigrateToJSpecify` recipe
automates the common cases (javax, Jakarta, JetBrains, Micrometer, Micronaut); the rest are a short
manual mapping. See [references/annotation-migration.md](references/annotation-migration.md).
## Incremental adoption for large codebases
Flipping every package to `@NullMarked` at once is impractical on a large or legacy codebase.
`@NullUnmarked` lets you enforce NullAway on a growing perimeter while the rest stays untouched.
Because the build above enables `OnlyNullMarked` mode, packages without `@NullMarked` are simply
ignored — so adoption is driven purely by adding markers, one package at a time. Strategies,
progress tracking, common NullAway errors, and redundant null-guard removal are in
[references/incremental-adoption.md](references/incremental-adoption.md).
## Kotlin interop (optional)
If the project also has Kotlin sources, the Kotlin compiler (K2) reads JSpecify annotations on Java
APIs and surfaces accurate nullability instead of platform types. See
[references/kotlin-interop.md](references/kotlin-interop.md).
