Java1.7以上では、abstractメソッドにもアノテーションが適用される

フレームワーク層などでリフレクションを使っていて、Javaのバージョンを1.6から上げる場合は挙動の違いに要注意

確認環境

MacOS X(10.9.5)
jdk1.6.0_65(MacOS付属のjdk)
jdk1.7.0_71
jdk1.8.0_25

サンプルコード

public abstract class Parent {
    public abstract Number someMethod();
}

public class Child extends Parent {
    @Override
    @Sample
    public Integer someMethod() {
        return 1;
    }
}

@Target(ElementType.METHOD)
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface Sample {
}

public class CheckHasSampleAnnotation {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        for (Method method : Child.class.getMethods()) {
            Sample annotation = method.getAnnotation(Sample.class);
            if(annotation != null) {
                System.out.println("----- [" + method + "] has @Sample. -----");
            } else {
                System.out.println("[" + method + "] doesn't have @Sample.");
            }
        }
    }
}
