Code snippet from WindowScopeManager:

    private static void callAnnotatedMethod(Object object, Class annotation) {
        Class theClass = object.getClass();
        try {
            while (null != theClass) {
                Method[] methods = object.getClass().getDeclaredMethods();
                for (Method method : methods) {
                    if (method.isAnnotationPresent(annotation)) {
                        method.setAccessible(true);
                        method.invoke(object);
                        return;
                    }
                }
                theClass = theClass.getSuperclass();
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            log.log(Level.WARNING, "Failed to invoke" + annotation + " on " + theClass, e);
        }
    }

This code finds annotations on a class but not on any ancestor classes.

The line:

    Method[] methods = object.getClass().getDeclaredMethods();

should be replaced with:

    Method[] methods = theClass.getDeclaredMethods();
