I implement query for annotations of concrete class. So right now if you will do
MyFrameworkAnnotation registeredInstances it will return only MyFrameworkAnnotation instances. It will not include any MyConcreteAnnotation instance. We can change this part if it is better to work with all subclasses. Or we can introduce another message like registeredSubInstances with consistency to general allSubInstances method, Another detail about inheritance: subclasses inherit superclass annotations and override them. 2017-10-03 12:10 GMT+02:00 Guillermo Polito <[email protected]>: > Ok, I'm back from vacations so I'll give a comment other than what I did > :P. > > First I like it. > > Second, how does it work with respect to inheritance?
