Gradle build error: cannot access ParametersAreNonnullByDefault class file when using Realm

Question

I'm writing an Android library project in which I have a dependency on Realm. For some reason when I add Realm as a dependency in my Gradle files, I get a build error. Specifically:

Error:cannot access ParametersAreNonnullByDefault
class file for javax.annotation.ParametersAreNonnullByDefault not found

I'm just following the Get Started on the Realm website.

My project level build.gradle looks like this:

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.3'
        classpath 'io.realm:realm-gradle-plugin:1.2.0'
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

My application level gradle.build looks like this:

apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
apply plugin: 'realm-android'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 24
    buildToolsVersion "24.0.1"

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 17
        targetSdkVersion 24
        versionCode 9
        versionName "1.2.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }

    lintOptions {
        abortOnError false
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.android.support:support-annotations:24.2.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:24.2.0'
    compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.4'

    //Puree
    compile 'com.cookpad.puree:puree:4.1.1'

    //Square
    compile 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.2.0'
    compile 'com.squareup:tape:1.2.3'
}

I have no idea what is going wrong. At first I thought it might be some conflict between the other dependencies, but I created a new project adding the same dependencies one by one and I had no compilation problems.

You can try adding the following dependency:

// https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.google.code.findbugs/jsr305
compile 'com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305:1.3.9' //try also provided
