      @Deprecated(since="6.3.0", forRemoval=true) public static <T extends Annotation> T findAnnotation(Class<?> clazz, Class<T> annotationType)
      Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
      This legacy lookup only walks one meta-annotation level and never merges @AliasFor overrides. Use MergedAnnotationResolver.find(java.lang.Class<?>, java.lang.Class<A>) instead, which walks the whole annotation tree and applies any @AliasFor override found along the way.
      Find an annotation on a class, searching up the inheritance hierarchy if not found directly.
      Type Parameters:
      T - the annotation type
      Parameters:
      clazz - the class to search for the annotation
      annotationType - the type of annotation to find
      Returns:
      the annotation if found, or null if not found
      Scheduled removal version:
