Adding @Inherited would have no effect because @Provides is used to annotate
methods and @Inherited only affects annotations on classes:
"Note that this meta-annotation type has no effect if the annotated
type is used to annotate anything other than a class"
from
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/annotation/Inherited.html
Have you tried using something like:
@Provides public final Something providesSomething() {return
getSomething();}
public abstract Something getSomething();
Although IMHO it is better to have @Provides closer to the implementation
rather than squirrelled away somewhere in the class hierarchy
