FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.8.0_40"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_40-b27)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
This code is compilable by javac, but should not be:

@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Target({ElementType.TYPE_USE, ElementType.FIELD})
@interface Bar {}

public class Test {
    @Bar java.lang.@Bar String foo = null; // Must be an error: Bar is not a repeatable annotation type

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Throwable {
        // This fails at runtime, because the declaration above is wrong
        Test.class.getDeclaredField("foo").getAnnotatedType();
    }
}

When I run this code, I get a runtime exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.annotation.AnnotationFormatError: Duplicate annotation for class: interface Bar: @Bar()
at sun.reflect.annotation.TypeAnnotationParser.mapTypeAnnotations(TypeAnnotationParser.java:360)
at sun.reflect.annotation.AnnotatedTypeFactory$AnnotatedTypeBaseImpl.<init>(AnnotatedTypeFactory.java:139)

at com.intellij.rt.execution.application.AppMain.main(AppMain.java:140)

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile and run this code:

@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Target({ElementType.TYPE_USE, ElementType.FIELD})
@interface Bar {}

public class Test {
    @Bar java.lang.@Bar String foo = null; // Must be an error: Bar is not a repeatable annotation type

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Throwable {
        // This fails at runtime, because the declaration above is wrong
        Test.class.getDeclaredField("foo").getAnnotatedType();
    }
}

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Compilation error: (19, 25) java: Bar is not a repeatable annotation type
ACTUAL -
Compiles fine, AnnotationFormatError exception at runtime

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Target({ElementType.TYPE_USE, ElementType.FIELD})
@interface Bar {}

public class Test {
    @Bar java.lang.@Bar String foo = null; // Must be an error: Bar is not a repeatable annotation type

        // This fails at runtime, because the declaration above is wrong
        Test.class.getDeclaredField("foo").getAnnotatedType();
    }
}
---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Remove the duplicate annotation or mark the annotation declaration as @Repeatable
