You said you wanted ClassInfo.getAnnotations to return only the declared annotations. I followed the nomenclature used on JDK, that says that declared annotations excludes inherited annotations. So, the way it is implemented now, it doesn't matter if @ManagementObject is inherited or not, because getAnnotations method is ignoring the inherited annotations. Before we changed the getAnnotations implementation, this method was returning exactly all the annotations of that particular class plus the inherited ones, as it was delegating to Class<?>.getAnnotations. This was being tested and that's why I had to change the tests to make them pass with the new implementation.
