DESCRIPTION:
Apt causes a NullPointerException running on a simplified Chinese testcase. This fails with 1.5.0_01 onwards, but not with 1.5.0 GA. It looks like the regression is caused by 6174696.
The NPE is caused by the Log class dereferencing a null source file name. However there is also the issue of the original lexError in Parser.ident() 
- Exact steps to reproduce

With the additional files, the internal NullPointerException has been reproduced.  The discovery loop appears fails for some reason if the annotations on the declarations are declared private.  Will investigate further.

There are actually two bugs here:

* resolveIdent uses StringBufferInputStream which was fixed in
  Mustang as part of the work for JSR 199 see bug 6224925.

* Fix com.sun.tools.apt.mirror.declaration.DeclarationMaker.getTypeDeclaration,
  it shouldn't use resolveIdent to resolve classes which might be private.
  Using ClassReader.enterClass seems more appropriate for this purpose.
