Instances of an annotation interface generally return a random proxy class when
`getClass()` is called on them; to get the actual annotation type use
`annotationType()`.
In the following example, calling `getClass()` on the annotation instance
returns a proxy class like `com.sun.proxy.$Proxy1`, while `annotationType()`
returns `Deprecated`.
```java
@Deprecated
public class Test {
static void printAnnotationClass(Annotation annotation) {
System.err.println(annotation.getClass());
System.err.println(annotation.annotationType());
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
printAnnotationClass(Test.class.getAnnotation(Deprecated.class));
}
}
```
Prints:
```
class com.sun.proxy.$Proxy1
interface java.lang.Deprecated
```
