import java.lang.reflect.Type;
import java.util.Arrays;

public class ClassgetAnnotatedsuperclassExample1 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        AnnotatedType ann = MyThread1.class.getAnnotatedSuperclass();
        System.out.println("Type Name : " + ann.getType().getTypeName());
        System.out.println("Annotations  : " +
                Arrays.toString(ann.getAnnotations()));  //get the annotaions
        System.out.println("Declared  Annotations: " +
                Arrays.toString(ann.getDeclaredAnnotations()));  //get the declared annotations
        System.out.println("AnnotatedType class: " + ann.getClass().getName());  //get name of the class
        System.out.println("AnnotatedType class implementing interfaces: " +
                Arrays.toString(ann.getClass().getInterfaces()));
