#1399 False positive for VariableNamingConventions with annotation @interface

[Rei Angelus]

As annotations are a form of interface, their fields are also automatically public, static and final just as their annotation fields are automatically public and abstract.

For this reason, I think the example below should not be positive.

:::xml
        <test-code>
        <description>False positive for VariableNamingConventions with annotation @interface</description>
        <expected-problems>0</expected-problems>
        <code><![CDATA[
public @interface Relation {

    int NO_REVERSE_RELATION = -1;
}
        ]]></code>
    </test-code>

Thanks,

[Andreas Dangel]

This will be fixed with PMD 5.3.4.
