Annotation is not inherited from interface method

Question

I have an interface with an annotated method. The annotation is marked with @Inherited, so I expect an implementor to inherit it. However, it is not the case:

Answer 1

From the @Inherited javadoc:

Note that this meta-annotation type has no effect if the annotated type is used to annotate anything other than a class. Note also that this meta-annotation only causes annotations to be inherited from superclasses; annotations on implemented interfaces have no effect.`

In summary, it doesn't apply to methods.
