How to make Java agent and reflection work together?

I have a project (http://ift.tt/1M1JxjO) that uses java-agent for online instrumentation. I tried to have an annotation class for runtime reflection. The program crashes with NoClassDefFoundError

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: janala/logger/DJVM

The call site of the error is simply

Test annotation = method.getAnnotation(Test.class);

If I change the program to first instrument the class, write the instrumented class to a .class file and then run the program with the same classpath. Then it runs fine.

The annotation is declared as

public class Annotations {

   /**
   * A CATG test.
   */
  @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
  @Target(ElementType.METHOD)
  public @interface Test {}
}

And the use of the annotation is like

  @Test
  public void testAnd() {
