Description

Consider the following:

@Tag(value=C.VALUE)
class C<@Tag(value=C.VALUE) T>
  extends @Tag(value=C.VALUE) Object
  implements @Tag(value=C.VALUE) Serializable
{
  public static final String VALUE = ""
  //...
}

Annotations located in the class header are processed before VariableScopeVisitor (in ResolveVisitor). Only the annotation in C properly resolves "C" and its constant field "VALUE".
