Take this little Test case:

@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Target(ElementType.TYPE)
public @interface TestAnnotation1 {}

@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Target(ElementType.TYPE)
public @interface TestAnnotation2{}

@TestAnnotation1
public class Annotated {}

public interface Marker {}

public aspect AnnotationAspect {
	
	declare @type: @TestAnnotation1 *: @TestAnnotation2;
	
        // of cource this matches
        // declare parents: (@TestAnnotation1 *)  implements Marker;
        // this matches, too
        // declare parents: (@TestAnnotation2 *)  implements Marker;

        // this does not match on Annotated
	declare parents: (@TestAnnotation2 *) && !java.lang.annotation.Annotation implements Marker;
        // but this does match on annotated
	// declare parents: (@TestAnnotation1 *) && !java.lang.annotation.Annotation implements Marker;
}
