Compile Error:when the Annotation param type is user defined Enumeration, param can't be set when used

Syntax
1

The java annotation file: DrWeave.java

package test.weaver;

import java.lang.annotation.Annotation;
import java.lang.annotation.Retention;
import java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy;
import java.lang.annotation.Target;

@Target({java.lang.annotation.ElementType.TYPE})
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface DrWeave
{
  public abstract MatchType type() default MatchType.ExactClass;

  public abstract String originalName() default "";
}

the user defined type:

package test.weaver;

public enum MatchType
{
    ExactClass(true),
    BaseClass(false),
    Interface(false);

    private final boolean exactMatch;

    private MatchType(final boolean exact) {
        this.exactMatch = exact;
    }

    public boolean isExactMatch() {
        return this.exactMatch;
    }
}

if i use the annotation like fllowed, it works all right:

package play.api.mvc

import test.weaver.MatchType;
import test.weaver.BrWeave;

import scala.concurrent.Future;

@DrWeave(originalName = "aaa")
class Action[A] {
  def apply(request: Request[A]): Future[SimpleResult] = {
  }
}

but if i use like this, it lead to compile failure:

package play.api.mvc

import test.weaver.MatchType;
import test.weaver.BrWeave;

import scala.concurrent.Future;

@DrWeave(type = MatchType.Interface)
class Action[A] {
  def apply(request: Request[A]): Future[SimpleResult] = {
  }
}

the error message like this:

[ERROR] ... Action.scala:8: error:error: illegal start of simple expression
[ERROR]   @DrWeave(type = MatchType.Interface)
[ERROR]            ^                       (point to 't')
[ERROR] ... Action.scala:13: error: ')' expected but eof found.

type is a keyword in scala and therefore cannot be used directly as an identifier. You can escape it with backticks:

@DrWeave(`type` = MatchType.Interface)
class Action[A] {
  def apply(request: Request[A]): Future[SimpleResult] = {
  }
}
