[jdt-apt-dev] Should annotation with default values return null?

[WGilster@xxxxxxxx]

I think I've said this before, but GREAT
TOOL GUYS!!

I submitted a bug recently also dealing with
annotations on parameters, but I was a little unsure if this particular
one is a problem or something I don't understand.  I'm getting some
annotations from a parameter, and the value that is being returned from
the isHidden() method of the annotation is null, yet the annotation has
a default value.  In "My Little Program", I'm not specifying
the value of isHidden(), but it is giving me a value of null, instead of
Boolean.FALSE which is the default value.  If this is the desired
functionality for parameters, this doesn't seem consistent because annotations
on methods use the default values.  Is there something I'm missing?



Here is as best as I can describe the problem
with code...
public enum Boolean {
        TRUE,
        FALSE,
        NULL
}


@Target({ElementType.Type, ElementType.METHOD,
ElementType.PARAMETER})
public @interface FeatureDescription {
        public
String displayName() default "";
        public
String name() default "";
        public
String shortDescription() default "";
        public
Boolean isHidden() default Boolean.FALSE;
}




//My Little Program
public interface Manager extends Serializable
{
        public
void myMethod(
         
      @FeatureDescription(
         
              displayName="NameOfParameter",
         
              shortDescription="Stuff"
         
      )
         
      Class<? extends OtherClass> theClass)
throws InstantiationException;
}
