The following is a valid @Qualifier (see http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/api/javax/inject/Qualifier.html ). However, NetBeans complains that it doesn't have a @Target annotation. I found a related issue 244172, and the fix seems simple: check in http://hg.netbeans.org/web-main/file/tip/web.beans/src/org/netbeans/modules/web/beans/analysis/analyzer/annotation/QualifierVerifier.java#l80 if targetTypes.isEmpty() and if so, return true @Qualifier @Retention(RUNTIME) @Documented public @interface Regional { } Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201606240002) Java: 1.8.0_91; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.91-b15 Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.8.0_91-b15 System: Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64; Cp1252; en_US (nb)
