Bug 418413

Description Noopur Gupta 2013-10-01 07:45:50 EDT

package misc.test;

import java.lang.annotation.ElementType;
import java.lang.annotation.Target;

@Target(ElementType.TYPE)
@interface A {
}

/**
 * hello
 */
@A
interface MyInterface {
}

class N implements MyInterface { // [1] hover over "MyInterface"
	MyInterface m= new MyInterface() { // [2] hover over "MyInterface" (Annotation on type declaration is not shown)
	};
}
// ------------------------------

In the above example, hover over "MyInterface" at [1] and [2].

On hovering at [2], the annotation "@A" is not shown in the javadoc hover.
However, the annotation is shown in the "Javadoc view" for "MyInterface" at [2].

It is also shown at [1] on both hovering and in the view.

The same issue exists for the @FunctionalInterface annotation added on java.util.Comparator in Java 8 for a similar example, where the annotation is not shown on hovering at the anonymous class declaration:

void foo() {
		List<String> strs = new ArrayList<>();
		Collections.sort(strs, new Comparator<String>() { // [3]
					public int compare(String x, String y) {
						return x.compareTo(y);
					}
				});
	}
