This is the same as reported by Lubomir Litchev of Borland,but I did not find a bug for this. static import for them broke (regressed) with our checkins of build 40(either 4985814 or 4979456?).
Unzip attachment and run doit.sh. This will run default with build 40(solaris) which will show bug. Use 'doit.sh 38' to see it compiled with build 38.
Their workaround is to take out the call to annotatate.finish() (did he mean flush()? ) in ClassReader.java and then it compiles fine for them
