> creating ClassInfo for an annotated Class object throws NPE
> -----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: XBEAN-263
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XBEAN-263
> Project: XBean
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: finder
> Affects Versions: 3.17
> Reporter: Matt Benson
>
> The class-based, as opposed to signature-based. portion of
> {{AnnotationFinder}} is rather difficult to test, but I have been able to
> create a failing test case. The issue is that
> {{Annotatable(AnnotatedElement)}} calls the {{AnnotationInfo}} constructor
> using the classname of the {{annotationType}} which, in turn, calls ASM's
> {{Type.getType(String)}}; however, this method wants a type descriptor (the
> method's Javadoc actually says "a field or method type descriptor"). Calling
> {{AnnotationInfo(Class)}} instead solves the problem.
