> This PR exposes runtime invisible annotations via `Class.getAnnotation` when `-XX:+PreserveAllAnnotations` option is passed to the JVM.
>
> Existing `-XX:+PreserveAllAnnotations` option can be very useful for code that needs to access annotations with `RetentionPolicy.CLASS` without the need to parse the .class files manually. While the RuntimeInvisibleAnnotations are kept in the runtime, they are not visible via java.lang.reflect API. I assume that's just an omission.
>
> This PR provides a new test and a fix to make `Class.getAnnotation(...)` useful when `-XX:+PreserveAllAnnotations` option is on.
