Description Justin Spadea CLA 2011-07-18 11:24:59 EDT 
record myannot type annotation
	i int[] = [1,2];
	s string = "foo";
end


Here's the output for myannot.eglxml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<AnnotationType ID="1" eClass="org.eclipse.edt.mof.egl.AnnotationType" isAbstract="false" isInterface="false" name="myannot" hasCompileErrors="false" packageName="pkg" >
	<eFields ID="2" eClass="org.eclipse.edt.mof.EField" name="i" eType="org.eclipse.edt.mof.EList&lt;org.eclipse.edt.mof.EInt32&gt;" nullable="false" isTransient="false" containment="true" >
		<declarer IDREF="1"/>
	</eFields>
	<eFields ID="3" eClass="org.eclipse.edt.mof.EField" name="s" eType="org.eclipse.edt.mof.EString" nullable="false" isTransient="false" containment="true" initialValue="foo" >
		<declarer IDREF="1"/>
	</eFields>
</AnnotationType>


As you can see the string field has an initialValue but the array field does not.

I have fixed this. The initial values for annotation fields are now stored as literal expressions. These expressions are then converted to the appropriate java object when the annotationType is instatiated.
