Description Olivier Thomann CLA 2010-06-10 09:02:15 EDT 
From bug 185422, the following code should not compile:

@A(name = X.QUERY_NAME, query = X.QUERY)
public class X {

    public static final String QUERY_NAME = "client.query.name";
    private static final String QUERY = "from Client";
}

@interface A{
	String name();
	String query();
}

It fails to compile using javac 1.7 (b93) and javac 1.6_21. It compiles fine using Eclipse compiler 3.6RC4.
