[type-annos-observers] error: enclosing static nested class cannot be annotated ??

[Werner Dietl]

Hi Srikanth,

I pushed an update to checking of these rules yesterday.
Your attached example now passes, as you expected.
If you instead try:

@Illegal Y.YY.Z z2 = null;

you now get:

error: scoping construct cannot be annotated with type-use annotation: @Illegal
                @Illegal Y.YY.Z z2 = null;

I think this corresponds to what a recent update to the JSR 308 spec prescribes.

Comments welcome.
cu, WMD.
