Yeah it's definitely a bug. I'm pretty sure
it's caused by https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=124388,
which I'm working on now.

I think I've said this before, but GREAT TOOL GUYS!!

I submitted a bug recently also dealing with annotations on parameters,
but I was a little unsure if this particular one is a problem or something
I don't understand.  I'm getting some annotations from a parameter,
and the value that is being returned from the isHidden() method of the
annotation is null, yet the annotation has a default value.  In "My
Little Program", I'm not specifying the value of isHidden(), but it
is giving me a value of null, instead of Boolean.FALSE which is the default
value.  If this is the desired functionality for parameters, this
doesn't seem consistent because annotations on methods use the default
values.  Is there something I'm missing? 



Here is as best as I can describe the problem with code...
public enum Boolean { 
        TRUE, 
        FALSE, 
        NULL 
} 


@Target({ElementType.Type, ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.PARAMETER})
public @interface FeatureDescription { 
        public String displayName() default "";
        public String name() default "";
        public String shortDescription() default "";
        public Boolean isHidden() default Boolean.FALSE;
} 




//My Little Program 
public interface Manager extends Serializable { 
        public void myMethod( 
                @FeatureDescription(
                    
   displayName="NameOfParameter",
                    
   shortDescription="Stuff" 
                )
                Class<? extends
OtherClass> theClass) throws InstantiationException;
}
