As raised by Mr Bodkin on the list:
Can anyone tell me why this compiling this program produces warnings for marker but not for deprecated (in a recent dev build of AJDT)? Is this just a bug? Both have runtime retention, so I would expect equivalent behavior.

 

@Deprecated @Marker

public aspect Annot {

 

    pointcut test() : within(@Marker *);// *);

   

    declare warning: staticinitialization(@Deprecated *): "deprecated";   

    declare warning: staticinitialization(@Marker *): "marker";   

   

    public static void main(String argz[]) {

        new Baz().foo();

    }

}

 

@Deprecated @Marker

class Baz {

    public void foo() {}

}

 

@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)

public @interface Marker {

 

}
