The spec 'A Program Annotation Facility for the Java Programming Language' says:
"The third form of annotation, single-member annotation, is a
shorthand designed for use with single-member annotation types:

    SingleMemberAnnotation:
        @ TypeName ( MemberValue )

It is shorthand for the normal annotation:

        @TypeName ( value = MemberValue )
"
But the compiler jdk1.5-b30 reports an error for the use of
SingleMemberAnnotation.
        
The following JCK tests are failed due to this bug:
lang/ANNOT/annot046/annot04601/annot04601.html

The source code:
-------------------------- test.java ----------------------------
import java.io.PrintStream;
@interface testID {
    int id();
}

public class test {

    @testID(1) public void m() {
    }

    public static void main(String args[]) {
        System.exit(run(args, System.out) + 95/*STATUS_TEMP*/);
    }

    public static int run(String args[],PrintStream out) {
        return 0;/*STATUS_PASSED*/
    }
}
