Annotation on Intersectingtype

[Mohan Radhakrishnan]

I am confused.

//Intersection type
    class Test<T extends String & @IntersectionType.TypeUse(value = 2)
Serializable>{

    }

How do I apply an annotation on the intersection type itself instead of on
individual bounds ? The code I sent earlier doesn't print the annotation
which might be the bug you are mentioning. It prints the intersection type
only.

Thanks,
Mohan
