1.31 +/**
1.32 + * Indicates that an annotation type is automatically inherited. If
1.33 + * an Inherited meta-annotation is present on an annotation type
1.34 + * declaration, and the user queries the annotation type on a class
1.35 + * declaration, and the class declaration has no annotation for this type,
1.36 + * then the class's superclass will automatically be queried for the
1.37 + * annotation type. This process will be repeated until an annotation for this
1.38 + * type is found, or the top of the class hierarchy (Object)
1.39 + * is reached. If no superclass has an annotation for this type, then
1.40 + * the query will indicate that the class in question has no such annotation.
1.41 + *
1.42 + * <p>Note that this meta-annotation type has no effect if the annotated
1.43 + * type is used to annotate anything other than a class. Note also
1.44 + * that this meta-annotation only causes annotations to be inherited
1.45 + * from superclasses; annotations on implemented interfaces have no
1.46 + * effect.
