Inspecting annotations of the superclass

For inspecting the annotations of the superclass, we need to call the getAnnotatedSuperclass() method:

This method returns the superclass type that is annotated:

Class<Melon> clazz = Melon.class;AnnotatedType superclassType = clazz.getAnnotatedSuperclass();

And let's get some information as well:

// modern.challenge.Cucurbitaceae System.out.println("Superclass type: "    + superclassType.getType().getTypeName()); // [@modern.challenge.Family()] System.out.println("Annotations: "    + Arrays.toString(superclassType.getDeclaredAnnotations())); System.out.println("@Family annotation present: "  + superclassType.isAnnotationPresent(Family.class)); ...
