Actually I'm struggling to come up with a simple set of rules but if
you can come up with some I'd be receptive. In particular I think that
merging and overriding of annotations is quite tricky when you get
down to the details.
FWIW, here's where we are wrt the spec and Jersey:
- @ConsumeMime and @ProduceMime are both @Inherited so they can be
used on superclasses.
- Resource classes are introspected using Class.getMethods. This will
include methods inherited from superclasses but note that a method
overriding one in a superclass requires its own annotations - we don't
do any annotation merging.
