Exception from AnnotationValue.getValue() should list the found type not the required type

J2SE Version (please include all output from java -version flag):
  java version "1.5.0_03"
  Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_03-b07)
  Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_03-b07, mixed mode, sharing)
  and
  java version "1.6.0-ea"
  Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.6.0-ea-b38)
  Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0-ea-b38, mixed mode)


Does this problem occur on J2SE 1.3.x or 1.4.x? Yes / No (pick one)
  N/A

Operating System Configuration Information (be specific):
  Win 2K

Bug Description:
  apt, Class<?> annotation value not matching required bounds,
  Declaration.getAnnotation() throws AnnotationTypeMismatchException
  which is not documented as thrown, and isn't strictly appropriate at
  this point (tho' its undoubtedly the most appropriate one in the java.lang
  packages)

  Further, this Exception's toString(), and foundType() methods indicate the
  wrong type found. They actually list the required type, not the found type.
  (this might be 2 separate bugs, throwing the undeclared exception, and having
  the wrong data inside it). The javac error does list the correct values for
  "found" and "required". Although its an unchecked exception, it is still good
  to declare it so users can anticipate this situation and dealt with it correctly
  rather than having apt do its "internal error in processor" song.

  (Also in 1.5.0_01 calling foundType() on the Exception threw a StackOverflowError
   but this is now fixed in 1.5.0_03)


Steps to Reproduce (be specific):
   In same directory as attached source files

   javac -cp "%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar" SomeProcessor.java Programatic.java
   java -cp .;"%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar" Programatic

   see AnnotationTypeMismatchException stacktrace, and output of foundType()

   In the example Class<? extends Number> is the required type, the found
   type is Class<String>, but each lists the found type as Class<? extends Number>

   The javadoc does not mention this Exception being thrown here.
