Description David Audel

build I20080415-1646

public class X {
	class Y {
		@interface E {
			
		}
	}
}

The error message is 'The member annotation E can only be defined inside a top-level class or interface'.
But it is also possible to define an annotation inside a static member type.

How about :

The member annotation E can only be defined inside a static context

instead of :

The member annotation E can only be defined inside a top-level class or interface


Is that clear enough ?
