Description Carlos Anjos CLA 2011-09-27 12:37:16 EDT 
After enabling the special compiler features, I declared something like:

declare parents : hasmethod(@MyAnnotation * *(..)) implements MyInterface

This works, if I explicitly annotate a method with @MyAnnotation.

However it does not work if previously I do something like:


declare @method: * MyClass.*(..) : @MyAnnotation;

I've tested, and the methods really get annotated, but these annotations are not visible to the hasmethod pointcut.

This is an issue, but I wanted to say one reason hasmethod is not a feature that is not on by default is because it doesn't work with some of the other language features, including ITDs and the case you have here.
