Comment #9 on issue 771 by [email protected]: Annotations.isAllDefaultMethods returns false for method less interfaces.
http://code.google.com/p/google-guice/issues/detail?id=771

I have a key that represents a type and either an Annotation or a Class<? extends Annotation> I want to create a new key for a different class that has the same Annotation or Class<? extends Annotation>

This sounds exactly like Key.ofType:

"Returns a new key of the specified type with the same annotation as this key"

Using your previous example you could rewrite it as:

private static Key<?> findDependencyKey(TypeLiteral<?> type, Key<?> clazzKey) {
    return classKey.ofType(type);
  }

and if you want to guarantee there is at least an annotation instance or marker then use:

private static Key<?> findDependencyKey(TypeLiteral<?> type, Key<?> clazzKey) {
    if (classKey.getAnnotationType() != null) {
      return classKey.ofType(type);
    } else {
throw new ProviderException("Neither annotation nor annotation type found!");
    }
  }

because Key.getAnnotationType() will only return null when there's no annotation instance or marker.
