[Soot-list] annotation bug ?

[Eric Bodden]

This here seems to be the official draft of the spec:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jvms/second_edition/ClassFileFormat-Java5.pdf
(pages 153+)

I am surprised that there's still no 3rd edition of the JVM spec. Java
5 has been around for quite a while now.
