Sorry it didn't register that getName() already returns a String - hence the toString() is redundant - but minimally so.

David

The second call to toString() also performs an implicit nullcheck (elementName can not be null). So if we have to fix something, it's only to remove the call to toString() after the call to getName(). Good catch Remi! Otavio: I don't want to dissuade you from getting involved but as Remi indicates your suggested change becomes simply - super(annotationType.getName()**.toString() + + super(annotationType.getName() + and this is such a minor change to interpreted performance (the JIT will remove the toString call) that I don't think it is worth the process overhead (testing etc) to actually make this change. As I said in other email sometimes there are non-obvious reasons (like null checks :) ) that code has to be kept in its current form.
