Please do send us source code where you only see a hex dump. I'm not
aware of any issues with javap output.

If you have a look at the files in

langtools/test/tools/javac/annotations/typeAnnotations/newlocations/

you should find self-contained examples for all syntactic locations.
If you're also interested in what we expect for type annotations, the
examples in

langtools/test/tools/javac/annotations/typeAnnotations/referenceinfos

might be interesting.

Please let me know whether there are any further details that I can
help you with.

cu, WMD.
