Does an annotation extends Annotation?

Murray9654Feb 24 2013 — edited Feb 24 2013
Hi, Does any annotation that we write extends "java.lang.annotation.Annotation?

I mean we are not allowed to extends any interface in the annotations that we create but doc on Annotation interface says that all annotations by default extends "java.lang.annotation.Annotation". so while compile time does the compiler adds this part?
