         java.beans.ConstructorProperties (rt.jar)
            -> java.lang.Object rt.jar
            -> java.lang.String rt.jar

            -> java.lang.annotation.Retention rt.jar
            -> java.lang.annotation.Target rt.jar


      while I was also expecting dependencies to
      java.lang.annotation.ElementType
      and
      java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy

      jdeps should report the list of class names matching the list that are needed during compilation as closely as possible. It may be useful to have an option to choose types that are needed at runtime vs all types including annotations.
