A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Annotation values on an inner class in an anonymous class cannot reference attributes of that inner class.

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 7u65

ADDITIONAL REGRESSION INFORMATION:
java version "1.7.0_65"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_65-b17)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.65-b04, mixed mode)

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Invoke javac with the attached source file as an argument

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
It should compile just fine.
ACTUAL -
Compilation fails with one error.

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
.../J8Issue.java:13: error: cannot find symbol
            @Annotation(AnonymousClass.ID)
                                      ^
  symbol: variable ID
  location: class <anonymous OuterBaseClass>.AnonymousClass
1 error

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
public class J8Issue
{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Object withAttribute = new OuterBaseClass()
        {
            private void method() {
                // This compiles OK in Java 7 update 50, 60 and 65, and Java 8 update 5 and 11
                System.out.println(AnonymousClass.ID);
            }

            // This compiles OK in Java 7 update 50, 60 and 65
            // This WONT compile in Java 8 update 5 and 11
            @Annotation(AnonymousClass.ID)
            abstract class AnonymousClass
            {
                static final String ID = "B";
            }
        };
    }
}

class OuterBaseClass
{
}

@interface Annotation
{
    String value();
}
---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Copy the value of the referenced field and put it at the Annotation's value. That requires duplication, and is therefore not preferable.
