Description

Annotation scanner in maven-plugin-tools-annotations assumes that all Java classes have superclass. This is mostly true, but there is one exception - java.lang.Object.

If annotation scanner encounters a class with no super class (like java.lang.Object) it fails with NullPointerException in MojoClassVisitor.visit().

Unit test reproducing the bug and proposed fix attached.
