Another option which I'd consider if rebuilding were tricky to do is to
restore BindingPriority and then, same as for JSON-P case, also support
Priority as part of EE (7) profile, though having a SE6 friendly
Priority class seems like a much simpler option (either use a SE6
profile or just target SE6 during the javax.annotation-api build)
