Hi, When reflecting over annotated types, there is currently no way to get the potentially annotated owner of a type. For example, given you have an instance of '@A Outer . @B Inner' you can't traverse it to get '@A Outer' .
This API addition fixes this. Because both parameterized and non-generic types can have an owner, this addition goes into the base AnnotatedType interface together with a default implementation. CCC has been filed. The parsing code and annotated type factory had to be fixed to deal with navigating inside nested types. Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8057804 Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rbackman/jbf/8057804/webrev.00/ (OCA is signed and processed). Cheers /Joel
