Library cannot be used due to split package exported by dependencies

[cowwoc]

Describe the bug
This library is incompatible with Java Modules. If you run mvn dependency:tree you will see:

[INFO]    +- io.kubernetes:client-java-api:jar:21.0.1:compile
[INFO]    |  +- javax.annotation:javax.annotation-api:jar:1.3.2:compile
[INFO]    |  +- jakarta.annotation:jakarta.annotation-api:jar:3.0.0:compile
[INFO]    |  +- com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305:jar:3.0.2:compile

1. The library depends on both javax.annotation and jakarta.annotation. I believe the latter is meant to replace the former.
2. Both javax.annotation and jsr305 export the same package.

Anyone who tries declaring this library as a dependency will get this error:

module X reads package javax.annotation from both jsr305 and java.annotation

Client Version
21.0.1

Java Version
23

To Reproduce
Create an application that contains a module-info.java that contains the following lines:

requires io.kubernetes.client.java;
requires io.kubernetes.client.java.api;

Expected behavior
Ability to use from Java Modules. You'll need to replace all uses of javax.annotation by jakarta.annotation and ideally please find a replacement for JSR 305. See https://nipafx.dev/jsr-305-java-9/ for what a mess it is on Java 9+.

Happy to take PRs to improve this.

Hey, I can take up this issue if it is still open, it seems more like a dependency update with minor refactors.
Thanks!

@venkat1701 Please do! The issue is still open.

@cowwoc yeah, i've added exclusions for javax.annotation and 1. is solved. I am looking for solving the 2nd one
