java annotation Array constants have to be specified using the Array(...) factory method 2.13.3

[stephennancekivell]

I have some java classes that have annotations that are now crashing after upgrading to 2.13.3

reproduction steps

Using Scala 2.13.3, but its a java file.

@Entity
@Table(name = "portal", uniqueConstraints = @UniqueConstraint(columnNames = {"account_id_fk", "name"}))
...

problem

Array constants have to be specified using the `Array(...)` factory method
@Table(name = "portal", uniqueConstraints = @UniqueConstraint(columnNames = {"account_id_fk", "name"}))

I expect this to compile like it did in 2.13.2.

If I try the suggestion it doesnt work, just say the next line is illegal eg, illegal start of type declaration

@Entity
@Table(name = "portal", uniqueConstraints = @UniqueConstraint(columnNames = Array("account_id_fk", "name")))
...

This seems like it might be related to scala/scala#8781

edit: I should mention these annotations are from javax.persistence

Thanks

@dwijnand ?

Hi @dwijnand Im still getting the same error in a recent 2.13.4 snapshot.

I see your fix has been merged into 2.12 but I'm not familiar with how it should get into the 2.13 branch. How should that happen.

I've put together a minimal reproduction here https://github.com/stephennancekivell/scala-12133

Thanks

@stephennancekivell there is a "merge forward" PR in flight scala/scala#9206

Oh, thanks for explaining @som-snytt, that makes sense.
