It is wrong to create a "problem type" for annotation types with errors. They don't have a clinit or init or actual method bodies to emit the exception throwing code into. Fix should be trivial. Just short circuit problem type generation for annotation types. A test could then simply assert for file's non-existence. I am removing the [1.8] tag as this has nothing to do with 1.8. Anirban, since you have a couple of other items to deal with problem methods/types I'll reassign this to you. This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie. |
