Hello!
My colleague discovered that latest javac (both 15-ea and 16-ea)
accepts sealed annotations. E.g.:
public sealed @interface MyAnno {
}
non-sealed interface Foo extends MyAnno {
}
The spec draft explicitly forbids this [1]:
> It is a compile-time error if an annotation type declaration has the modifier sealed (9.1.1.3).
With best regards,
Tagir Valeev.
