@PascalSchumacher, no problem!
```
@Test
public void testAnnotationsOfDifferingTypes() {
assertFalse(AnnotationUtils.equals(field1.getAnnotation(TestAnnotation.class),
field4.getAnnotation(NestAnnotation.class)));
assertFalse(AnnotationUtils.equals(field4.getAnnotation(NestAnnotation.class),
field1.getAnnotation(TestAnnotation.class)));
}
```
This test is successful, but checks a different behaviour than expected.
`field4.getAnnotation(NestAnnotation.class)` is expected to return an
annotation of type `NestAnnotation`, but actually it returns `null` because the
Retention of annotation is set to default.
As a result, test did not cover quite important case.
