FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.8.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_45-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.45-b02, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Target(ElementType.METHOD)
public @interface ExampleAnnotation {}

public abstract class AbstractExample<T extends BeanInterface> {
    public abstract void exampleMethod(T bean);
}

public class ImplementationExample extends AbstractExample<BeanImplementation>{
  @Override
  @ExampleAnnotation
  public void exampleMethod(BeanImplementation bean) {
  }
}
Where BeanImplementation is an implementation of BeanInterface.

If I compile the code using Java 8u45 and I list which methods of the ImplementationExample class have the annotation ExampleAnnotation using the following piece of code:

    Class<ImplementationExample> cls = ImplementationExample.class;
    List<Method> methods = new ArrayList<Method>();
    methods.addAll(Arrays.asList(cls.getDeclaredMethods()));

    for (Method method : methods) {
      System.out.println("method: " + method.getName() + " annotation: " + method.getAnnotation(ExampleAnnotation.class));
    }
Then I get that both these methods:

ImplementationExample.exampleMethod(BeanImplementation)
ImplementationExample.exampleMethod(BeanInterface)
If I use Java 7 or the Java 8 Eclipse Compiler then only the first method is annotated and this should be the correct behavior.

Is this a bug in the java 8 compiler? Or am I doing something wrong?
I would expect the behavior to be the same as in Java 7.

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 7u75

ADDITIONAL REGRESSION INFORMATION:
java version "1.7.0_72"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_72-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.72-b04, mixed mode)

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
HERE THE CODE NEEDED
//Test Method Annotation
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Target(ElementType.METHOD)
public @interface ExampleAnnotation {}

//Abstract class with method whose input is parameterized like this:
public abstract class AbstractExample<T extends BeanInterface> {
    public abstract void exampleMethod(T bean);
}

//Implementation of the abstract class
public class ImplementationExample extends AbstractExample<BeanImplementation>{
  @Override
  @ExampleAnnotation
  public void exampleMethod(BeanImplementation bean) {
  }
}

//Where BeanImplementation is an implementation of the interface BeanInterface.

If I compile the code using Java 8u45 and I list which methods of the ImplementationExample class have the annotation ExampleAnnotation using the following piece of code:

 Class<ImplementationExample> cls = ImplementationExample.class;
    List<Method> methods = new ArrayList<Method>();
    methods.addAll(Arrays.asList(cls.getDeclaredMethods()));

    for (Method method : methods) {
      System.out.println("method: " + method.getName() + " annotation: " + method.getAnnotation(ExampleAnnotation.class));
    }

Then I get that both these methods:

ImplementationExample.exampleMethod(BeanImplementation)
ImplementationExample.exampleMethod(BeanInterface)

If I use Java 7 or the Java 8 Eclipse Compiler then only the first method is annotated.


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Only the following method should be detected to have the annotation ExampleAnnotation:

ImplementationExample.exampleMethod(BeanImplementation)
ACTUAL -
Both these two methods have been detected to have the annotation ExampleAnnotation:

ImplementationExample.exampleMethod(BeanImplementation)
ImplementationExample.exampleMethod(BeanInterface)

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
No error message

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
