When compiling our code with '-parameters' (1.8.0_20-ea and  1.8.0-b132),
we got this exception:

An exception has occurred in the compiler (1.8.0). Please file a bug at the

In order to isolate the problematic code, I add  -XDverboseCompilePolicy
and -Xdiags:verbose, without luck.
Why they are ignored ?

Please note that an annotation processor is involved.
