/**
* General utility methods for working with annotations, handling bridge methods
* (which the compiler generates for generic declarations) as well as super
* methods (for optional "annotation inheritance"). Note that none of
* this is provided by the JDK's introspection facilities themselves.
*
* As a general rule for runtime-retained annotations (e.g. for transaction
* control, authorization or service exposure), always use the lookup methods on
* this class (e.g., {@link #findAnnotation(Method, Class)},
* {@link #getAnnotation(Method, Class)}, and {@link #getAnnotations(Method)})
* instead of the plain annotation lookup methods in the JDK. You can still
* explicitly choose between lookup on the given class level only
* ({@link #getAnnotation(Method, Class)}) and lookup in the entire inheritance
* hierarchy of the given method ({@link #findAnnotation(Method, Class)}).
