JDK-8025934 :  
Preserve type annotations through a class redefine - Closed
Description
With class file redefinition, the caches of annotations and type annotations can become inconsistent with the current definitions in the class.

The cache management strategy for annotations and type annotations should be the same.
Comments
Srikanth, can you look into this minor bug and see if there is anything more to do. The sub-task is already closed, so I would hope that this task is completed as well. If not completed, then the priority is P4, therefore not urgent to resolve.
