Java 8 IT failure

[JakeWharton]

The post-build script did not succeed. Build output did not contain expected error text:
    "@Inject is not valid on a class: test.TestApp"
Build Output:
        [ERROR] COMPILATION ERROR : 
        [ERROR] /home/travis/build/square/dagger/compiler/target/it/inject-on-class/src/main/java/test/TestApp.java:[20,1] annotation type not applicable to this kind of declaration
        [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.1:compile (default-compile) on project method-injection: Compilation failure

I saw this locally and just added Java 8 to .travis.yml to verify (and for future changes).

Why would @Inject not be valid. Did something in 8 change about annotation declarations that I missed?

[JakeWharton]

The two annotation-related features that were added were annotations on types and support for repeating annotations.

[cgruber]

Yeah, but that increases the places annotations are valid. I am not clear on why annotations would suddenly become invalid.

[JakeWharton]

The test is failing because of the absence of a failing compile. The test wants the build to fail but it erroneously succeeds.

[cgruber]

Oh my god I'm blind today. Right.
