Peter,
I haven't studied your patch yet but moving the fields into a helper
class is what was envisaged. Here's another reminder that the
initialization has been crying out to be re-worked for some time:

I noticed the static syncronized AnnotationType.getInstance too. My
proposed patch does away with synchronized
Class.initAnnotationsIfNecessary and replaces it with plain
Class.privateGetAnnotations that doesn't use any locks. Therefore it
solves this deadlock.
