A private method is considered to be non-overriddable. So I need that declaring class somewhere.

Ok, I understand now. It's not an override.

This isn't even really java since without a setAccessible() it's illegal. :-)


  |       Sub sub = new Sub();
  |       Method method = Super.class.getDeclaredMethod("doSomething");
  |       // method.setAccessible(true);
  |       method.invoke(sub); 
  | 
  | Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalAccessException: Class Sub can not access a member of class Super with modifiers "private"
  | 	at sun.reflect.Reflection.ensureMemberAccess(Reflection.java:65)
  | 	at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:588)
  | 	at Sub.main(Sub.java:36)
  | 

I guess it's mitigated by the super class having to add the annotation
that allows it?

Since you don't need to setAccessible() to retrieve annotations from
the private super method then I don't think we would be introducing a security 
hole by supporting it within the MDR (this prints null).


  |       Method method = Super.class.getDeclaredMethod("doSomething");
  |       //method.setAccessible(true);
  |       System.out.println(method.getAnnotation(Inherited.class));
