    Description

      Currently, AnnotationLiteral.hashCode() always returns 0 if there are no members (ignoring annotation type completely). Although it does not break Object.hashCode() contract, I believe we should either return a number based on the annotation type (to make the annotation literal instances more usable in hash tables) or simply return zero and don't cache the value at all.

      UPDATE: We may not return a number based on the annotation type because it would break the java.lang.annotation.Annotation.hashCode() contract.

          Bug - A problem that impairs or prevents the functions of the product. CDI-149 AnnotationLiteral in the CDI API does not cache the hashCode

          • Major - To be worked after higher priority work items are addressed. When the severity is high and the effort to change it is low to moderate, this term is chosen. Issues in this category likely have an existing workaround but implementation or execution may be non-trivial.
