Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_121-b13)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
If I use an Annotation with ElementType.TYPE_USE on an anonymous class,
this class becomes unusable.
For example, initialization of fields results in a NoSuchFieldError at runtime.

Basically, this bug is described in an OpenJDK-bug:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8059531



STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Declare an Annotation type "A" with ElementType.TYPE_USE
2. Write an expression that instantiates an anonymous class with at least one field, and annotates it with "A"
3. Run the program

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The anonymous class is instantiated and is fully usable.
ACTUAL -
The initializer of the class fails with a NoSuchFieldError

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
