Hi,
Please review the fix for JDK-8027170 below.
Description:
Class.getAnnotationsByType did not differentiate between annotations in
superclass and annotations in supersuperclass. This is however required
by the definition of associated annotations.
The patch addresses this issue by modifying AnnotationSupport so that it
traverses the class hierarchy when searching for annotations associated
with the given class.
The new test, InheritedAssociatedAnnotations.java, demonstrates the
issue (and passes after the patch has been applied).
