             Summary: 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.
