An annotation utility I thought we would have
I'm a bit surprised that org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.utils.AnnotationUtils
does not have a method that says:
"Here's a method and an annotation. If the method has the annotation,
return it. Otherwise, go to the containing class, and it's parents, in
search of it."
Is there something I'm missing which would make this a bad idea?

Doesn't help with methods, only with classes. But that still is less
code to write than nothing at all.

JAX-RS has an AnnotationUtils class that has other annotational
goodies, and there's no annotation code in ReflectionUtil, so I think
I'll follow the Alice's Restaurant principle.

Probably something useful to add to ReflectionUtil.
That said, you should also ask yourself if the annotation itself just have
@Inherited on it and whether that would be enough or not?
