While working on bug 296044, I found that the compiler was throwing an excepiton under this code:

in default package AnnotAspect.aj:

@SuppressWarnings("nls")
public aspect AnnotAspect {
    declare @field : * AnnotDemo.* : @Demo(myValues={"alfa", "beta", "gamma"});
    
}
class AnnotDemo {
//  that works fine in the java class 
//@Demo(myValues={"alfa", "beta", "gamma"})
private int annotateMe;
}  

in default package Demo.java:

public @interface Demo {
    Class[] myValues() default { };
}

Note that the declare declaration uses strings and the @interface requires classes.


Exception is this:
java.lang.NullPointerException
