Description

Building flight fails with

[INFO] --- maven-compiler-plugin:3.6.2:compile (default-compile) @ arrow-flight ---
[INFO] Compiling 39 source files to /Users/uwe/Development/arrow-repos-1/arrow/java/flight/target/classes
[INFO] -------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] COMPILATION ERROR :
[INFO] -------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] /Users/uwe/Development/arrow-repos-1/arrow/java/flight/target/generated-sources/protobuf/org/apache/arrow/flight/impl/FlightServiceGrpc.java:[26,17] error: cannot find symbol
symbol: class Generated
location: package javax.annotation
[INFO] 1 error

To fix this, I added the following dependency to flight/pom.xml:

 <dependency>
   <groupId>javax.annotation</groupId>
   <artifactId>javax.annotation-api</artifactId>
   <version>1.3.2</version>
 </dependency>

This then passed the compile step but failed later with:

[INFO] --- maven-dependency-plugin:3.0.1:analyze-only (analyze) @ arrow-flight ---
[WARNING] Unused declared dependencies found:
[WARNING] javax.annotation:javax.annotation-api:jar:1.3.2:compile
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:3.0.1:analyze-only (analyze) on project arrow-flight: Dependency problems found -> [Help 1]
