Then I tried to find usages of annotation property name public @interface Column { String name() default ""; [skip] } Netbeans throwed the exception java.lang.RuntimeException: Unexpected type of ASTree: 86 at org.netbeans.modules.javacore.jmiimpl.javamodel.MetadataElement.getElementProxy(MetadataElement.java:682) at org.netbeans.modules.javacore.jmiimpl.javamodel.MetadataElement.createElement(MetadataElement.java:548) at org.netbeans.modules.javacore.jmiimpl.javamodel.MetadataElement.initOrCreate(MetadataElement.java:1037) at org.netbeans.modules.javacore.jmiimpl.javamodel.AttributeValueImpl.initInitValue(AttributeValueImpl.java:157) at org.netbeans.modules.javacore.jmiimpl.javamodel.AttributeValueImpl.initChildren(AttributeValueImpl.java:141) at org.netbeans.modules.javacore.jmiimpl.javamodel.AttributeValueImpl.getValue(AttributeValueImpl.java:54) at org.netbeans.jmi.javamodel.AttributeValue$Impl.getValue(Unknown Source) at org.netbeans.modules.javacore.jmiimpl.javamodel.AttributeValueImpl.getChildren(AttributeValueImpl.java:98) at org.netbeans.modules.javacore.jmiimpl.javamodel.UsageFinder.getUsers(UsageFinder.java:167) at org.netbeans.modules.javacore.jmiimpl.javamodel.UsageFinder.getUsers(UsageFinder.java:167) at org.netbeans.modules.javacore.jmiimpl.javamodel.UsageFinder.getUsers(UsageFinder.java:167) at org.netbeans.modules.javacore.jmiimpl.javamodel.UsageFinder.getUsers(UsageFinder.java:167) at org.netbeans.modules.javacore.jmiimpl.javamodel.UsageFinder.getUsers(UsageFinder.java:167) at org.netbeans.modules.javacore.jmiimpl.javamodel.UsageFinder.getUsers(UsageFinder.java:149) at org.netbeans.modules.javacore.jmiimpl.javamodel.UsageFinder.access$200(UsageFinder.java:36) at org.netbeans.modules.javacore.jmiimpl.javamodel.UsageFinder$LazyIterator.findNext(UsageFinder.java:306) at org.netbeans.modules.javacore.jmiimpl.javamodel.UsageFinder$LazyIterator.hasNext(UsageFinder.java:336) at org.netbeans.modules.refactoring.plugins.WhereUsedQueryPlugin.prepare(WhereUsedQueryPlugin.java:97) at org.netbeans.modules.refactoring.api.AbstractRefactoring.pluginsPrepare(AbstractRefactoring.java:285) at org.netbeans.modules.refactoring.api.AbstractRefactoring.prepare(AbstractRefactoring.java:150) at org.netbeans.modules.refactoring.spi.ui.ParametersPanel$Prepare.run(ParametersPanel.java:682) at org.openide.util.Task.run(Task.java:207) at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$Task.run(RequestProcessor.java:469) [catch] at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$Processor.run(RequestProcessor.java:870)
An annotation type is not reason of reported exception. Exception is thrown from source where the annotation type is used, i.e. in your source, you have probably usage like that: @Column(name = @Column) public class A { } ... or something like that, the invalid line is annotated by error mark and underlined. Please, provide you other sources, where annotation is used or confirm, that you have such an usage. (or similar one.) This is important only for correct reproducible test case. But IDE should not definitely throw an exception.

It was code for hibernate-annotations-3.1beta6 Sources actually have many such declarations [annotation in annotation] i.e. @AttributeOverride(name="model", column=@Column(name="computer_model") ) IDE doesn't highlight this as error. Then cursor stands in area of such declarations IDE continuously throws the same exeptions
Ok, thanks for additional information.
