With latest I get: ---------- 1. ERROR in c:\tests_sources\X.java (at line 3) int[] bar() default null; ^^^^ The value for annotation attribute X.bar must be a constant expression ---------- 1 problem Closing as WORKSFORME. Added regression test. Thanks for reporting the problem. well, that's what i get for trying to simplify my testcase without actually
checking in eclipse. here's the real reproducer. sorry for the confusion.
@interface Foo
{
}
@interface Bar
{
Foo[] foo() default null;
}
@Bar(foo=null)
class Blah
{
// ...
}
I'll try to reproduce. Created attachment 17566 [details]
Test case
Indeed, we did not properly check the annotation value scenario. Added AnnotationTest#test108-109. Fixed Verified in I20050214 |
JLS3 states on page 283 that for annotations: Note that null is not a legal element value for any element type. However the following is allowed in eclipse 3.1M4: public @interface Foo { int[] bar() default null; } also, null is incorrectly allowed in the following context: @Foo(bar=null) int baz; javac-1.5.0 fails in both of these cases.
