Description

We noticed compilation errors in one of our work projects after v2.22.0 that seem to resolve around a change in the scope for org.jetbrains:annotations from compile to runtime. The dependency version numbers haven't changed at all, just the scope.

v2.22.0;

Reproduction

I can't share the project that's causing the problem, but I can reproduce it on our CI/CD pipelines or locally.

v2.22.0 works, updating to v2.23.0 or v2.24.0 introduces the scope change and compilation fails due to org.jetbrains:annotations.

Additional context

Adding org.jetbrains:annotations as a maven dependency in our project resolves the issue, but I'm not sure that this is the best approach.
