FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
javac 1.8.0_40


A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I've found weird behavior when I was trying to implement passing logic to annotation by lambda or anonymous class, which was considered on our classes and some people decided that it is impossible in Java.

Unfortunately/fortunately instead of compilation error I've get what I send you.
