Here is the first in a series of changes to add type annotation support to reflection.

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jfranck/8004699/webrev.00/ I assume this should be typeAnnotations rather than typeannotations so that it's consistent with the existing fields.

Doh. However since these fields are not the permanent solution and the overhead to changing naming is large, I would (vert strongly) prefer to keep the (bad) HotSpot naming convention for now.

Have the Hotspot changes been pushed already?

Out for review here: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/hotspot-dev/2012-December/007637.html
