The existing org.jboss.forge.parser.java.Annotation API is a bit unsymmetrical:

public Annotation<O> getAnnotation(final Class<? extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> type);

You ask it for an Object that implements java.lang.annotation.Annotation, but you get back an Object that implements org.jboss.forge.parser.java.Annotation. It would be nice if you got back a 'real' annotation the same as java.lang.reflect.AnnotatedElement:

public <T extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> T getAnnotation(final Class<T> type);

This is a little tricky because java.lang.annotation.Annotation is an interface. If it helps, I am using the attached rough code for now.
