Description Olivier Thomann CLA 2004-11-29 10:46:26 EST 
A field declaration is allowed inside an annotation type declaration iff it is a
constant field declaration (i.e. it has an initializer with a constant value).

@interface I {
     int[] tab;
}

error: needs an initializer:

@interface I {
     int[] tab = {1, 2};
}
compiles fine.

Note that javac accepts: int[] tab = {1, "aaa".length() }
Comment 2 Philipe Mulet CLA 2004-11-29 13:01:08 EST 
Added support for checking annotation fields.
Added regression test: AnnotationTest#test039-043.
Fixed
