Method Details

isInherited

default boolean isInherited()

Is the annotation annotated with Inherited?

Meta-annotations from the java.lang.annotation package are excluded from the annotation metadata (see AnnotationUtil.STEREOTYPE_EXCLUDES), so the answer cannot be retrieved with AnnotationMetadata.hasDeclaredAnnotation(String). Implementations backed by a native element resolve it from that element instead; the default implementation, for implementations that have no native element to inspect, always returns false.

Returns:

true if the annotation type is declared Inherited
