Could find @NotNull in Hibernate core jar

I am working on Hibernate 3.6 jar, so as part of the hibernate manual, most of the examples are using @NotNull annotation, so as part of this i couldn't find this annotation any where in the hibernate core jar.

Appreciate if anyone can provide answers to the below questions:

1) Where i can find this @NotNull annotation.
2) If this is not present in hibernate core 3.6, do i need to import any other jars in order to use this annotation. Please suggest

Thank you.

The following dependencies work for me:

Code:

      <dependency>
         <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
         <artifactId>hibernate-c3p0</artifactId>
         <version>3.6.10.Final</version>
      </dependency>
      <dependency>
         <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
         <artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId>
         <version>4.1.0.Final</version>
      </dependency>
