259          if (result.length == 0 && // Neither directly nor indirectly 
present
 260              this instanceof Class && // the element is a class
 261              AnnotationType.getInstance(annotationClass).isInherited()) { 
// Inheritable
 262              ...

j.l.Class is final and has an implementation of getAnnotationsByType so 
everything in this branch is dead code. I understand you might want to document 
how the lookup is supposed to happen if you have inheritance semantics for your 
AnnotatedElement but IMHO this isn't the way to do it. Just delegate to 
getDeclaredAnnotationsByType.

291      * @since 1.8
 292      */

 293     default <T extends Annotation> T getDeclaredAnnotation(Class<T> 
annotationClass) {

I keep forgetting that this one is new to 8. My reservations about making this 
a default was based on (the misconception) that this was a 5 method. This 
method looks good.

For getDeclaredAnnotationsByType() the idea of having two implementations of 
the same logic, one taking arrays as arguments and the other Maps, seems wrong. 
I would strongly prefer if we only had one implementation, calling into 
AnnotationSupport from this method. Something like

 default <T extends Annotation> T[] getDeclaredAnnotationsByType(Class<T> 
annotationClass) {
         Objects.requireNonNull(annotationClass);
         return 
AnnotationSupport.getDirectlyAndIndirectlyPresent(Arrays.stream(getDeclaredAnnotations()).collect(Collectors.toMap(
                        (a -> a.getClass()),
                        Function.identity())),
                 annotationClass);
  }

I can't see these default methods as the code we should be spending time 
optimizing.

cheers
