The jdk1.5.0-b40 allows to use the annotation marked as
@Target(ElementType.TYPE) to annotate an annotation but
according to the spec (Final Draft Specification 2) the
@Target(ElementType.ANNOTATION_TYPE) should be used for it.

The affected new JCK 1.5 test is:
lang/ANNOT/annot049/annot04909m1/annot04909m1.html

The test source:
--------------------------- test.java -----------------------------------
import java.io.PrintStream;
import java.lang.annotation.*;

@Target(ElementType.TYPE) @interface iMark{}

@iMark @interface Annot {
    int m();
}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Execution log (no errors):
% jdk1.5.0-b40/solaris-sparc/bin/javac -version -source 1.5 test.java
