             Summary: Annotation change single statement block result
                 Key: JEXL-449
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JEXL-449
             Project: Commons JEXL
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.5.0
            Reporter: Henri Biestro
            Assignee: Henri Biestro
             Fix For: 3.6.0


There is an inconsistency in behavior when an annotation is used:
{code:java}
var n = 0 { n += 1 } 
{code}
results in a set { 1 }, the curly-bracket expression being considered as a 
literal-set, not as a block.
{code:java}
var n = 0 \@annotation { n += 1 } 
{code}
results in integer 1, the curly-bracket syntax being considered as a block when 
a literal-set {1} would be expected.


The precedence of literal-sets over single-statement blocks should be 
consistent. When a single-statement block is needed, a simple ';' at the end of 
the expression does (and should in all cases) disambiguate the intent.
