Regression test failures in type-annotations langtools test set

[Steve Sides]

Hi,
  I am part of the java sqe group for langtools. We have been running 
nightly testing on type-annotations builds taken from the openjdk 
repository, and I have been seeing a few tests failures in the 
type-annotations/langtools/test set (a.k.a regression tests).

Some of these are a result of missing target types (TYPE-USE and 
TYPE-PARAMETER) on type annotation declarations and  have a bug 
associated and are noted as such below.
There are 9 failing tests in all. FWIW, the first 5 pass with jdk8 and 
lambda builds.

Two javadoc tests:
1. com/sun/javadoc/testDeprecatedDocs/TestDeprecatedDocs.java
2. com/sun/javadoc/testNewLanguageFeatures/TestNewLanguageFeatures.java

These do not use type annotations:
3. tools/javac/tree/TreePosTest.java
4. tools/javac/failover/CheckAttributedTree.java

Not sure. :/  It is not a test of annotations but a test of diagnostics.
5. tools/javac/diags/CheckExamples.java

7172567 <http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7172567> 
Missing @Target  on annotation:
6. tools/javac/T6985181.java
7. tools/javac/annotations/6881115/T6881115.java  //dianostic test with 
an extra error output due to a missing @Target
8. tools/javac/processing/model/element/TestAnonClassNames.java

This test is not in jdk8 or lambda repositories, only type-annotations, 
and it is not a test of type annotations:
9. tools/javac/api/EndPositions.java

cheers,

-steve
