[jdk17u-dev] RFR: 8225377: type annotations are not visible to javac plugins across compilation boundaries

Wed Nov 8 01:07:00 UTC 2023

Hi,

This is a backport of [JDK-8225377: type annotations are not visible to javac plugins across compilation boundaries](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8225377)

The patch did not apply cleanly, I resolved one merge conflict due to changes to the internal `TypeMetadata` API for JDK-8303820.

The modified test fails without the patch, and passes with it. The patch passes `langtools:tier1` tests.
