Align Spring Data JPA annotations with Spring Framework annotations

[spring-projects-issues]

Xavier Dury opened DATAJPA-394 and commented

None of the configuration annotations (@Configuration, @ComponentScan, @EnableTransactionManagement, @EnableCaching, @EnableXXXX) in Spring is @Inherited. So, to align with those annotations in Spring, @EnableJpaRepositories should not be @Inherited

I just discovered this issue while looking to see if anyone had hit the same problem as me with @EnableTransactionManagement not being @Inherited.

To me it's a WTF, and instinctively I expect annotations to be @Inherited.

Even if someone is extending an @Configuration specifically in order to override an annotation, I'd expect this to work, ah, except there's no way to disabled it, hence perhaps it is sane, but needs documenting as such.
