Validate that an annotation being introduced on a joinpoint has the correct ElementType
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBAOP-719
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAOP-719
             Project: JBoss AOP
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
    Affects Versions: 2.1.0.CR3
            Reporter: jaikiran pai

JBoss AOP allows annotations to be introduced on joinpoints. However it does not validate whether the annotation definition allows the annotation to be introduced on the joinpoint. 

Example:

@Target(value=ElementType.TYPE)
public @interface MyOwnAnnotation

JBoss AOP allows this annotation (whose target is ElementType.TYPE) to be introduced on methods and fields as well. This could be avoided by adding some validation during annotation introduction. Please see the referenced forum thread for details.
