Is there something like Annotation Inheritance in java?

by

Unfortunately, no. Apparently it has something to do with programs that read the annotations on a class without loading them all the way. See Why is it not possible to extend annotations in Java?

However, types do inherit the annotations of their superclass if those annotations are @Inherited.

Also, unless you need those methods to interact, you could just stack the annotations on your class:

@Move
@Page
public class myAwesomeClass {}

Is there some reason that wouldn’t work for you?
