[jvm] difference between cucumber.api.java.After and cucumber.annotation.After

[Integrity]

Hi, 

I am new to cucumber-jvm, i used maven with following dependencies. for the @After, and other annotations, when I hover over the @After keyword, I am suggested only import cucumber.api.java.After; However I was told that i should not be importing that package where as I should use import cucumber.annotation.After; 

The explanation given was that the cucumber.api is not intended for annotations rather I should be using cucumber.annotation. However when I googled for cucumber.annotation package, I could not find any javadoc. Why are there 2 packages if they fulfil the same purpose, which package is the official cucumber one. is the cucumber.annotations not the official package.(is it third party one)

 <dependency>

        <groupId>info.cukes</groupId>

        <artifactId>cucumber-picocontainer</artifactId>

        <version>1.1.5</version>

        <scope>test</scope>

    </dependency>

    <dependency>

        <groupId>info.cukes</groupId>

        <artifactId>cucumber-junit</artifactId>

        <version>1.1.5</version>

        <scope>test</scope>

    </dependency>

    <dependency>

        <groupId>junit</groupId>

        <artifactId>junit</artifactId>

        <version>4.11</version>

        <scope>test</scope>

    </dependency>

cheers,

After Cucumber-JVM 1.1.3 there was a re-organisation of packages. cucumber.annotation.en.* was the old package

With 1.1.5 you should be using cucumber.api.en.*

In fact, all public classes are now found under cucumber.api 

 <dependency>

        <groupId>info.cukes</groupId>

        <artifactId>cucumber-picocontainer</artifactId>

        <version>1.1.5</version>

        <scope>test</scope>

    </dependency>

    <dependency>

        <groupId>info.cukes</groupId>

        <artifactId>cucumber-junit</artifactId>

        <version>1.1.5</version>

        <scope>test</scope>

    </dependency>

    <dependency>

        <groupId>junit</groupId>

        <artifactId>junit</artifactId>

        <version>4.11</version>

        <scope>test</scope>

    </dependency>
