Usage of an array instead of an expected boolean for an annotation value results in duplicate error message:

"Type mismatch: cannot convert from Object[] to boolean"


Repro:  Open the following two files in a java project, then observe the Problems view.  It is not necessary to have an annotation processor.


package pkg;
public @interface Anno {
	boolean b() default false;
}


package pkg;
@Anno(b = {})
public class Test {
}


Notes:  This bug was first found after integrating an APT test from 3.1.1.  The test org.eclipse.jdt.apt.tests.ExceptionHandlingTests.testArrayForBooleanValue() fails in 3.2 but now has a workaround.  I haven't seen this bug with any other flavor of type mismatch.
