If you're using maven managing your dependencies, you can also add the below dependency in your pom.xml.

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.annotation</groupId>
    <artifactId>javax.annotation-api</artifactId>
    <version>1.3.2</version>
</dependency>

OR download the jar file from here https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.annotation/javax.annotation-api/1.3.2

Or go to : right click your project->build path->configure build path->add external JARs->"C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 9.0\lib\annotations-api.jar" and all will be right.

I have encountered the same problem with you.
Download javax.annotation.jar online and add to your library may help.

Eclipse is facing some bugs in IDE 4.7 it is not fully compitable with JDK 9 like in with JDK 9 IDE is not generating toString() function also...

so i change the JDK 9 to jdk 8.1 and it solves all the problem.

to change the JDK...

Window > Preferences > Installed JREs >>> Change the JDK 9 to JDK xx

AND/OR

Right Click Project > Properties > JRE > Edit >>> YOUR ALTERNATIVE JDK xx

This had solved my problem.
