     [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18714?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Xavier Coulon updated JBIDE-18714:
----------------------------------
    Description: 
With the following code:
{code}
@NameBinding
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface LoggingBinding {

}
{code}

The error message is
{quote}
The Name Binding should have a @Target(ElementType.METHOD) annotation on its type.
{quote}
but it should be 
{quote}
The Name Binding should have a @Target(\{ElementType.TYPE, ElementType.METHOD\}) annotation on its type.
{quote}

Note that the QuickFix adds the correct {{@Target(\{ElementType.TYPE, ElementType.METHOD\})}}, it's just that the initial error message was misleading
