Created attachment 84657 [details]
test case

Build ID: M20070212-1330

Steps To Reproduce:
Try to compile the attached test program in Eclipse. It complains about:

Type mismatch: cannot convert from Annotation to ConstructorProperties

With javac this compiles without problems (as it should, because it is semantically correct AFAICS). This might be related to bug #212147, but I am not sure. At least the compiler error is a different one.

Yes, this is a dup of bug 212147.
You need to write instead:

final Class<ConstructorProperties> propertyNamesClass = ConstructorProperties.class;
Constructor<ConstructorProperties> constr = propertyNamesClass.getConstructor();
String[] propertyNames = constr.getAnnotation(propertyNamesClass).value();

since Constructor is a generic type. 
Closing as duplicate of bug 212147
