Well, if you are willing to take this further, I would suggest you modify the test so that it would only test the "correct" behavior and not also the "incorrect" one. Meaning, you should test annotated elements (class in you case) that are annotated with CLASS retention annotations only (at the time the annotation uses are compiled) and not with mixed set (CLASS and RUNTIME retention) annotations. In that case the outcome is sensible (and useful). If others agree that adding such test is OK, I can sponsor it. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/4280
