Inspecting annotations of the superclass

For inspecting the annotations of the superclass, we need to call the getAnnotatedSuperclass() method:

This method returns the superclass type that is annotated:

Class<Melon> clazz = Melon.class;
AnnotatedType superclassType = clazz.getAnnotatedSuperclass();

And let's get some information as well:

// modern.challenge.Cucurbitaceae
 System.out.println("Superclass type: " 
   + superclassType.getType().getTypeName());

 // [@modern.challenge.Family()]
 System.out.println("Annotations: " 
   + Arrays.toString(superclassType.getDeclaredAnnotations()));

 System.out.println("@Family annotation present: " 
   + superclassType.isAnnotationPresent(Family.class)); // true
