Description Sebastian Montero CLA 2015-08-03 13:50:45 EDT 
I'm using @DeclareParents to introduce an interface to certain entites. The problem is that when I add the following annotation @JsonView(View.Minimal.class) to the introduced interface, I get the following AspectJ compiler error:

org.aspectj.ajdt.internal.compiler.lookup.EclipseAnnotationConvertor$MissingImplementationException: Please raise an AspectJ bug.  AspectJ does not know how to convert this annotation value [View.Minimal.class]

I was not able to recreate it using @DeclareParents but I used some code involving XhasMember which triggered the same "does not know how to convert" problem. My test and fix are now in. Just to note that @DeclareParents is kind of deprecated in favor of @DeclareMixin these days (but is still supported).

Hi Andrew, thank you, how can I get hold of the fix? I'm using @DeclareParents because I'm developing with Spring, and @DeclareMixin is not supported
