Description
When `java.lang.Class::getAnnotation` is called to retrieve an annotation, and the annotation has an array value that references a missing class, attempting to read that value results in a `java.lang.TypeNotPresentException`. In previous releases the call to `Class::getAnnotation` incorrectly resulted in a `java.lang.ArrayStoreException`. Any programs that explicitly handled that exception should be updated to handle `java.lang.TypeNotPresentException` instead.
