/**
 * 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.
 * 
 * <p>
 * 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)}).
