The class-level Javadoc and docs/CONFIGURATION.md implied that @SimpleBuilder is inherited by subclasses, but the annotation was not meta-annotated with @inherited. As a result BuilderProcessor, which collects types via RoundEnvironment.getElementsAnnotatedWith(...), only produced builders for the exact type carrying @SimpleBuilder and not for unannotated subclasses. Add @inherited to @SimpleBuilder so subclasses are treated as if they also carried the annotation, mirroring the existing behaviour of @SimpleBuilder.Template (which is already @inherited). Update the Javadoc to document the inheritance explicitly and clarify the CONFIGURATION.md wording. @Ignore4BuilderGeneration still suppresses generation for the exact type it is placed on, so opt-outs continue to work as before. Add SimpleBuilderInheritanceTest covering direct inheritance, the opt-out interaction, and multi-level (grandchild) inheritance.

…ance Rename SimpleBuilderInheritanceTest to BuilderAnnotationInheritanceTest so the name reflects that it covers both builder-triggering annotations. Add unannotatedSubclassGetsBuilderFromInheritedTemplate, which verifies that a custom @inherited template annotation (meta-annotated with @SimpleBuilder.Template) propagates to unannotated subclasses, matching the existing behaviour of @SimpleBuilder itself.

The Template Javadoc and CONFIGURATION.md "Template Annotations" section did not explain that @SimpleBuilder.Template is @inherited, nor that a custom template annotation must additionally declare @inherited to propagate to unannotated subclasses. Add explicit documentation and an example showing the @inherited custom annotation pattern. Also move assertNoBuilderGenerated to ProcessorAsserts so it is shared by BuilderAnnotationInheritanceTest and Ignore4BuilderGenerationTest instead of being duplicated as a private helper in each test class.

While @SimpleBuilder and @inherited template annotations now correctly trigger builder generation for unannotated subclasses, the configuration options declared on the parent's @SimpleBuilder(options = ...) or template are not yet applied to inherited subclass builders — they use default options instead. This is tracked separately in issue java-helpers#245. Add caveats to the SimpleBuilder Javadoc, the CONFIGURATION.md Template Annotations section, and the Template Annotations Not Working troubleshooting section so users are not surprised by this limitation.

Add explicit guidance that @SimpleBuilder.Template is a meta-annotation for custom annotation declarations (@interface) only and cannot be placed directly on a class or record. @SimpleBuilder is for direct one-off annotation of classes/records. - SimpleBuilder.java: add 'When to use' section to class-level Javadoc - SimpleBuilder.Template Javadoc: state it can only be placed on annotation types (ANNOTATION_TYPE), not on classes/records - CONFIGURATION.md 'Template Annotations': add comparison table and introductory paragraph - CONFIGURATION.md troubleshooting: add item about @SimpleBuilder.Template not being a class annotation Generated with [Devin](https://devin.ai) Co-Authored-By: Devin <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

…arget The compiler and IDE already enforce @target(ANNOTATION_TYPE) and show a clear error when @SimpleBuilder.Template is placed on a class/record, so this troubleshooting item adds no value.
