                 Key: WELDRAD-25
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/WELDRAD-25
             Project: Weld Archetypes
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.0.0.Beta1
            Reporter: Alexey Kazakov


There is 
@Qualifier
@Target({ElementType.FIELD, ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.PARAMETER})
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface WidgetRepository {}

But JSR-299 describes a qualifier type as:

2.3.2. Defining new qualifier types
A qualifier type is a Java annotation defined as @Target({METHOD, FIELD, PARAMETER, TYPE}) and @Retention(RUNTIME). 
... 

10.1. Event types and qualifier types 
... 
An event qualifier type is just an ordinary qualifier type as specified in Section 2.3.2, "Defining new qualifier types" with the exception that it may be declared @Target({FIELD, PARAMETER}). 
...

Though the spec doesn't require to treat such annotations (like @Target({FIELD, METHOD, PARAMETER})) as definition errors JBoss Tools mark them as errors.
Please see https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-7710 for details.
