[Pete Muir (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-234?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12730817#comment-12730817 ] 

Pete Muir commented on CDI-234:
-------------------------------

the confusion is that "Annotation-valued members" and "Annotation member values" mean different things but sound the same.

> The spec says:
> "Array-valued or annotation-valued members of a qualifier type should be annotated @Nonbinding in a portable application.
> If an array-valued or annotation-valued member of a qualifier type is not annotated @Nonbinding, non-portable behavior
> results."
> The case of arrays without this annotation should be managed to get a better portability. The equality of arrays is determined through "Arrays" helper (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/annotation/Annotation.html) so i don't think there is any technical issue to consider arrays as a field.
